I just read David Chelimsky's slides from RailsConf. I was at RailsConf, but was unable to attend the session. The slides are excellent, and I've recently become VERY interested in stories. In particular I'm a bit unhappy with regular view testing (even with the easier notion of it in RSpec). I was wondering what folks think about testing the full stack these days, and any recommendations you have?
Specifically, I'm wondering, or contemplating, if I do unit tests for my models, and then I use WebRat plus RailsStory, do I even need to then do functional testing of my controllers and views? I can see that I might want to do some particular view testing that ensured certain elements were on a page or something, but in terms of actually testing the workings of my app/site, it seems model unit tests combined with RailsStory+Webrat will do a pretty darn thorough job. I would then consider going to Selenium to test some of the detailed JavaScript as needed. Thoughts? What am I missing, or what are the downsides of such an approach? -- Christopher Bailey Cobalt Edge LLC http://cobaltedge.com _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
