Yes, I have done that and the spec looks like below.

------------------ Spec extract begins
------------------------------------------
    context 'saves updates to an existing part object successfully' do
        it 'does its job in saving the update' do
            Part.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(part)
            Part.should_receive(:update_attributes).with('title' =>
'Brake pads').and_return(part)
            put :update, :id => 1, :part => {'title' => 'Brake pads'}
        end
    end
------------------ Spec extract ends
------------------------------------------

Alas, it's still giving out an error indicating the update_attributes
message is never called.
I've already got a put request to the 'update' method with an id and
the part hash parameter
and yet it looks like 'update' is not called (which in will call
update_attributes in it).

----------------- Error extract starts
-------------------------------------------------

  1) PartsController saves updates to an existing part object
successfully does its job in saving the update
     Failure/Error:
Part.should_receive(:update_attributes).with('title' => 'Brake
pads').and_return(part)
       (<Part(id: integer, title: string, description: text,
created_by: string, updated_by: string, created_at: datetime,
updated_at: datetime) (class)>).update_attributes({"title"=>"Brake
pads"})
           expected: 1 time
           received: 0 times
     # ./spec/controllers/parts_controller_spec.rb:54

Finished in 0.25483 seconds
8 examples, 1 failure, 1 pending

----------------- Error extract end
-------------------------------------------------

Hmm.... What is missing?
