While testing your models, you do not have to test Rails's functionality. If there is nothing else in the model apart from has_many and belongs_to statements, you can safely ignore unit testing those models entirely. However, if you have validations and custom methods on the model, you would have to test the functionality of that method in your unit tests. -- Regards, Vagmi Mudumbai ---------------------------- CTO & Co Founder Artha42 Technology Solutions Pvt.
