Is there a need to include all tests in the testing part in RoR?

I am new to RoR and in the basic demo application i am using rspec test only and it serves the purpose, but are the tests like autotest, spork etc also required?

Autotest is a tool that makes your tests run on the background everytime you change them. So, if you change a test and save the file, the test is automatically run in your shell. It's very handy when programming.

Spork is mainly a way to make your tests run a lot faster. Both autotest and spork are tools, they are not tests. And you may use them or not.

For instance, i prefer watchr over autorun (they do the same thing) and i don't really use spork(because i don't want another open shell in visor :P)
