Hi all, Well I have this fairly large application with restful authentication and a few other plugins in it. I developed it wholly otherwise. This is my first ROR app. And I learnt of Test Driven Development quite late. Ive reached the point where I need to cover my code with good test coverage. Ive done quite a lot of reading on testing but I still need to take the plunge into it and I have no idea where to start.
My request to those of you out there with the experience to put me in the right direction.. a few questions.. - should i start with unit tests? how paranoid should i be about them (if at all there's a unit of measurement for that)? - i understand too much dependency on fixtures can make my tests brittle. So i keep fixtures to a minimum? when exactly should I absolutely use a fixture? - what tools should i definitely use besides test/unit? RSpec, Autotest, Cucumber, Selenium, ... ? Any and many tips welcome as welcome can be! What would probably be most important is how do I analyze my code to see what tests are most important and start writing them? How do I approach writing tests?
