[LRUG] Cucumber and RSpec on Rails

[Paul Campbell]

Jordi,

cucumber can (and will, if you want) cover 90% of the cases.

Sometimes you might want to drop down to controller testing for edge
cases or redirects to  external services and things.

Mostly though, my controller specs remain empty.

Model specs are much more frequent though, for testing things like
arithmetic, maybe validations, auto-assignment, data transformations
etc.

Hope this helps,

—Paul
