I was using rcov[1] on my tests and was pleasantly surprised to see that much of my code was being exercised, but somehow the number of lines of test code did not sync up with what I expected so I went looking for models and controllers that were missing unit and functional tests. Here is a rake task you can dump into your Rakefile or /lib/tasks. You can then run: rake missing_tests and it will let you know where you have failed to create a test file (it offers no opinion on how meaningful your tests are :). I really recommend rcov as another tool if you are looking for some automated feedback about what code is being executed by your tests. Comments welcome!
