describe: keyword represent test class name, Test case divided in to three part as below:
1. before: before block code executed at beginning of test before executing any test
2. after: this block of code executed after test execution.

3. it: this block of code contains test scripts code. multiple block can be define for multiple test with keyword “it” in one ruby file.

Execution:
Open command prompt and goto directory of your test and run below command:

rspec GoogleRSpec.rb

Note: GoogleRSpec.rb is file name of above test script.
To generate test scripts execution report, you need to use “--format html --out report.html “

After execution report is generated into “report.html” file,  you can change file name according to you.

rspec --format html --out report.html GoogleRSpec.rb
