Hello,

according to this post:

I should be able to write:

describe User do
 it {should valdate_presence_of(:login)}
end

What's the point in testing validates_presence_of for a model? It's
already tested in the framework, and so readable that a quick glance on
the model says it all. I would only test it if I added some bizarre
behavior with procs and so on.

What's the community's position about that?

It shouldn't be a test, it's a spec. So it's done *before* you write the code. The specs describe the behavior of the application.
