Ruby on Rails testing with RSpec. Installing RSpec. Rails RSpec Tutorial.

RSpec Tutorial

Thanks so much for this. There are so many Rails tutorials for absolute beginners, and lots of stuff that assumes expert knowledge, but not much, besides practice, to span the gap. Rick Quantz, HackerNews, 13 May 2011
I will be starting a new job here in SF, due in no small part to what I've learned here from the RailsApp Project. Joseph May, 23 Dec 2013
I would like to say thank you for such a precise guide. It helped me understand how things work a great deal quicker than all of the bits and pieces I was reading around the web. Justin Booth

Is It for You?

RSpec is the most popular test framework for Rails. This guide shows how to set up RSpec and explains how to write simple tests. It provides an introduction to basic concepts and recommended practices.
