Many programmers use devise as their authentication solution and I would like to get their advice:
Devise is already tested, but I want to know if there is something to test by myself (integration/unit/funtionnal tests?) for a standard devise integration with my knowledge (I'm not familiar with shoulda and cucumber, but I know a bit of rspec and factory girls)
Thanks for your advices!!
From the unit testing perspective, devise provides 2 helper methods
sign_in @user # sign_in(resource)
sign_out @user # sign_out(resource)
You might be needing them to test if your controller actions are behaving in a proper way such as not allowing you to create a post when you are not logged in.
From the Inegration testing perspective, define a bunch of cucumber steps which will do the same sign_in & sign_out something that looks like When /^I am signed in as (\w*)$/ do end and use that to do the actual navigation instead of using the rspec helpers provided by rspec.
That should be good.
