[LRUG] Acceptance-testing facebook canvas applications

[Mr Jaba]

Hi Tim,

In my, (admittedly limited) FB experience, a Facebook app is simply in a
Rails Application sitting in an Iframe, so you can write acceptance tests in
the usual way without worrying about having to log into facebook etc. Once
you get into interacting with their servers (graph API) etc though you might
have more trouble. At that point you might want to mock out the responses
from their servers.

Hope that helps, and isn't just stating the obvious!

Tom
