To caveat, I'm not massively familiar with either Test::Unit or Shoulda, but I can't quite see what this ApplicationController instance you're creating has to do with the request that your test is making. if you look in the testing guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html#functional-tests-for-your-controllers, you'll see that the request methods (like delete in your code) populate an instance variable called @response with the response of the request. try inspecting the body of this object in order to see what the response of your request was.

Cheers,

Tim
