Geek asks and answers

I am overwhelmed with the number of tools used to test applications with rails, where do I start?

I never worried about testing because my applications were relatively simple, and I wanted to focus on studying rubies and rails and developing functionality. I want some tools / gems to be relatively easy to use. Ideally, I want:

  • Model testing
  • Assistant Testing
  • Integration testing (I will not test my views or controllers directly)
  • See test coverage
  • Automate (complete all my tests with a single command)

I am thinking of MiniTest (or RSpec?) For the first two, adding Capybara to test integration, and I have no idea about the last two.

I use:

  • OSX 10.7.3
  • Ruby 1.9.3-p194
  • Rails 3.2.3

I have seen many unsuccessful testing attempts, but I have never seen them unsuccessful because they are choosing the wrong tool / framework. They fail because they don’t know how to master the tools that they use and are pretty good at the basics of testing.
