We certainly don’t want to lose all our hard work. What happens if you want to use a new or different ORM? The template should allow the user to easily replace existing components and add new components in either the template or the solution built from the template.

In this installment we’ll add support for our custom web errors and add support for Elmah.

In our last installment we converted the default tests to specifications for the Home and Account controllers. In this article we will be adding some meat to those specifications.
There are several good articles on the net about writing your specs. I stumbled across a couple more while preparing for this article. A reference list of all articles used in this post can be found at the end of the article.
There’s no need for me to repeat one of the best articles now. So go here, http://blog.wekeroad.com/2009/09/21/make-bdd-your-bff-2, and read this great post by Rob Conery.
The second article to read is http://telldontask.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/bdd-with-mspec-and-rhino-auto-mocks-part-2/.
We’ll combine what we learn in these two articles to write our specs. More
