I am committed to BDD. We use Cucumber & RSpec for all our ruby projects. Has anyone attempted to use these BDD tools with Titanium.
We are looking at leveraging our Ruby / BDD skills for mobile development. What if any Testing technologies are known to work with Titanium.

I am wondering about this myself. I posted a [question]:https://developer.appcelerator.com/question/741/unit-testing-support about it. I would love to be able to do BDD with mobile apps I develop using Titanium, but without a JavaScript (and mockable) skeleton of the Titanium APIs, I don't think there is a way to do it.
There's titanium-jasmine which I'm going to be trying on my next project. It's totally lame that Appcelerator is the only mobile dev environment that I'm aware of now that doesn't including a testing environment with the core platform.
For such a great platform it's surprising the engineers at Appcelerator didn't start with the testing framework and then build the platform. As a programmer in the bay area you could get away with "I don't test" 5 years ago but nowadays not testing as part of your development process just means you don't get hired.
I too am commited to BDD (with Cucumber & RSpec). It makes my physical ill to not have that safety net and guidance when developing for Titanium (+ it takes forever to manually test things)
I'm very interested in any pointers to this too.
cheers jc
