I have a spec: specify "a post with no user id should add a record" do post :edit_or_create, :user => {:login => ''joeschmoe'', :email => ''joe at shmoe.com'', :email_confirmation => ''joe at shmoe.com'', :full_name => ''Joe Schmoe''} assigns[:user].should_not_be_nil

So I dig rspec and BDD, of course. I thought that Dave''s Google Video was a great intro () -- even if it was a bit heavy on theory and a bit loose on the nuts and bolts. But I don''t see anyone sufficiently answering the big question: What do you test? How do you define higher level and lower level behaviors that should have tests written for them?

How does a person test private methods? Is there a way to declare them as private, but retain any tests that were written during the initial development? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
