Thanks for your advise I will follow them However, I am thinking of limiting myself mostly to functional test (testing controllers). Is that ok ?
Your suggestions with source control an testdriven development implies that I should make a new rails 3 application copying source from my old application needed for each test then refactoring and enhancing the code. Is that correct or should I still try to upgrade the whole application.
