I am not a very experienced developer so right now I am failing to understand how Rspec can help me. I know testing is important, thats why I am asking you... "What should be my approach towards Rspec ?" Please help me understand the big picture of rspec.

  • Testing views is good because you know that your application is working full stack.
  • Testing controllers is good because view testing is slow :)
  • Writing tests helps you thinking about the problem first (writing the test) before writing the code that makes the test pass (that's writing the solution). So you realize you have been doing this wrong your whole life!
  • The Big Picture of TDD is to give you confidence while writing code! You can refactor, move, edit and delete your code without fear.
