How I Test
Here I show how I would add tests to the password reset feature created in the previous episode. I use RSpec, Capybara, Factory Girl, and Guard to make request, model, and mailer specs.
(15 minutes)
RSpec Matchers & Macros
You can improve the readability and remove duplication in RSpec by adding matchers and macros. Learn how in this episode.
(18 minutes)
Request Specs and Capybara
Request specs in RSpec are a great way to ensure the entire application stack is working properly. Here I also show how to use capybara with integrated JavaScript testing using Selenium.
(13 minutes)
Spork
Spork improves the loading time of your test suite by starting up your Rails application once in the background. Use it with Guard for the ultimate combo in fast feedback while doing TDD.
(9 minutes)
Guard
Guard watches files and runs a command after a file is modified. This allows you to automatically run tests in the background, restart your development server, reload the browser, and more.
(8 minutes)
Testing Controllers with RSpec
Controllers are tricky to test, and there's no perfect way to do it. In this episode you will see how I test controllers, and my reasoning behind it.
(11 minutes)
Pickle with Cucumber
Pickle adds many convenient Cucumber steps for generating models. Also learn about table diffs in this episode.
(16 minutes)
Beginning with Cucumber
Cucumber is a high-level testing framework. In this episode we will create a new Rails application from scratch using behavior driven development.
