I'd be a lot more confident to build something close to what is expected if I were given tests instead of a requirements document with the usual ambivalence. There would also be a lot less discussion about correctness and interpretation. Either the tests pass or they fail.

And if it works for jRuby...

"Testing in jruby is based on two seperate unit test suites. The first and foremost is rubicon (http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubytests). This
is the same test suite that ruby uses to verify the interpreter is running correctly. The second is our own unit tests via ant/junit/minirunit. This test suite is mostly for tests that we cannot or do not want to submit to rubicon (a good example is tests involving java integration)"
