MINIMIZE INDIRECTION! That means minimizing the cases in which you have to look elsewhere to understand something.

Re-use code within example groups describe() or context()

describe ... do
  def helper_method()
  end
  it
    helper_method()
  end
end

describe ... do
  def helper_method()
    yield object do
    end
  end
  it "idiom{{Footnote|Keep clean and consistent!"
    helper_method() do |yielded_object|
    end
  end
end

Sharing across example groups

module MyHelpers
  def ...
  end
end

describe ... do
  include MyHelpers
  it ... do
  end
end

OR

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include(MyHelpers)
end
