Also, you'll have to run the 'rake rails:update' to update both configs, scripts and public/javascripts for your Rails application. Now, you'll be at the point where you'll simply execute 'rake test' which runs all unit, functional and integration tests. > > > >> >> - pass all the tests >> - integrate > > > I don't understand 'integrate' in this context either I am afraid. > > >> >> - repeat until no more warnings or errors >> > Finally, you'll continue to execute 'rake test' until you have fixed all the failing test(s) within your Rails application.
