How do you develop a Rails application in a Rails application using Cucumber & RSpec?

Question

I just started using the BDD application in Rails, but I'm not sure what are the best practices and workflows? And what other things do I really need to test my project, such as step definitions, controllers, models, and views? Do I need to check all this?

Answer 1

I generally think of Cucumber as a way to test integration in your application. Combined with Webrat, you can test workflows, views, etc. For unit tests, you will want to go to a lower level and test your models with rspec only. You can also run some functional tests on controllers, and I probably won't use Cucumber for this.
