We're joined by Josh Clayton to discuss our differing strategies on testing view behavior, strategies for dealing with brittle feature specs, and what types of tests each of us favor.

• Verifying partial doubles


• Decent exposure


• Defining helpers directly on the view in view specs


• Don't stub the system under test


• Clearance Back Door


• Automatic form filling driven by i18n and Factory Girl with Formulaic


• Mystery guests


• Using data attributes to decouple data from presentation


• Testing pyramid


• Shoulda Matchers


• Consistency Fail
