+# RSpec Setup
+
+The simplest way to get started with EnhancedErrors is to use it for RSpec
+exception capturing. To get variable output into RSpec, the approach below
+enables capturing, but also gives nice output by formatting the failure message
+with the variable capture.
+
+The advantage of this approach is that it is only active for your spec runs.
+This approach is ideal for CI and local testing because it doesn't make
+any changes that should bleed through to production--it doesn't enhance
+exceptions except those that pass by during the RSpec run.
+
+```ruby
+
+RSpec.configure do |config|
+   
+  # add these config changes to your RSpec config to get variable messages
+  config.before(:suite) do
+    RSpec::Core::Example.prepend(Enhanced::Integrations::RSpecErrorFailureMessage)
+  end
+  
+  config.before(:example) do |_example|
+    EnhancedErrors.start_rspec_binding_capture
+  end
+
+  config.after(:example) do |example|
+    example.metadata[:expect_binding] = EnhancedErrors.stop_rspec_binding_capture
+  end
+  
+end
+
+```
+
+## Minitest
+
+Untested as of yet, but enhance_exceptions!(override_messages: true) is likely to work.
+
+If anyone wants to look into an integration implementation like RSpec, it would
+be welcomed. With a more targeted approach like the RSpec one, exceptions could be captured and 
+modified only during test time, like the RSpec approach. This would be advantageous as
+it wouldn't modify the exception message itself, but still makes the variable output available in
+test messages.
+
+## Enhancing .message
+
+EnhancedErrors can also append the captured variable description into the Exception's
+.message method output if the override_messages argument is true. 
+
+This can be very convenient as it lets you capture and diagnose 
+the context of totally unanticipated exceptions without modifying all your error handlers. 
+
+The downside to this approach is that if you have expectations in your tests/specs 
+around exception messages, those may break. Also, if you are doing something with the error messages, 
+like storing them in a database, they could be *much* longer and that may pose an issue.
+
+Ideally, use exception.captured_variables instead.
+
+```ruby
+EnhancedErrors.enhance_exceptions!(override_messages: true)
