Testing

Endpoint tests

Acceptance tests

These are tests running on behalf of your users, focused on testing the "happy paths" of your application with as little mocking and stubbing as possible. As a result they tend to be more costly, both in terms of the effort it takes to setup and in terms of how long they take – but having a test that ensures your endpoints remain stable is well worth the cost.

Running tests

To run all tests in your app:

$ rake

You can then use the rspec binary to run a single test suite:

$ rspec spec/acceptance/artists_spec.js

Or even a single test case:

$ rspec spec/acceptance/artists_spec.js:16 # run only test defined around this line
