TDD is very good at ensuring you create technically sound applications, but it does nothing to ensure that the code actually accomplishes your business goals.
Take a look at Behavior Driven Development. It basically combines Agile/Scrum with TDD and lets you test business needs the same way you do standard tests.
As a .NET dev, I use SpecFlow. It's incredibly helpful because it has a "plain English" syntax readable by non-coder stakeholders. I'm not sure what the RoR equivalent is.

Much saner approach.
The cucumber book should be a good starting point

Testing is a deceitfully advanced topic, particularly how to not waste your time.

I found Rspec and Cucumber to add unnecessary complexity. `subject.should be_valid` and `subject.should_contain :apple` (Rspec) are less expressive than `assert user.valid?` and `assert fruit.contains? :apple`.
