I’m always interesting in new perspectives in testing. It seems that the point of Riot is to speed up the test suite of a given app. This seems to be accomplished by not rerunning the setup block for every context, only running it once. You can already do this in RSpec by declaring ‘before(:all)’ instead of the default ‘before’ or ‘before(:each)’.
To accomplish this the author recommends the practice of your assertions not being able to change any data in the setup block.
