The pragmatic approach to testing Rails applications

SMRTR summary

Rails testing is shifting towards pragmatism. Recommended minimum coverage includes authentication, authorization, and basic controller tests. Model tests should be prioritized based on app maturity. System tests are being reevaluated due to their cost and brittleness. Future updates will focus on faster test suites, converting many system tests to controller tests. The aim is to balance thorough testing with development speed, particularly for early-stage projects.
