burden it imposes and also use RSpec/Capybara feature style tests. I'm
not sure it's useful to split out every line to a method with
given/when/then, you may as well just use Turnip. I extract out common
steps to a library of methods, `visit_home_page`, `click_on_nav "Home"`,
but will often leave in the actual code for the test I'm interested in.<br>
<br>
You might find it worthwhile to create RSpec matchers, so you can write:
`expect(page).to have_flash_message("Thanks for joining.")` or
`expect(page).to show_course(@course)`.<br>
<br>
