What is Rails test automation and how can I implement it?

Rails test automation refers to the practice of using automated tests to ensure the functionality of Ruby on Rails applications. You can implement it using tools like RSpec, Capybara, and Minitest.

What are the benefits of using RSpec for testing?

RSpec provides a readable syntax, making tests easier to write and understand. It also supports behavior-driven development (BDD), which helps in defining application behavior before implementation.

Can you give me an example of a simple test case using RSpec?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

RSpec.describe User, type: :model do
  it 'is valid with valid attributes' do
    user = User.new(name: 'John', email: '[email protected]')
    expect(user).to be_valid
  end
end

How do I run my tests in Rails?

You can run your tests in Rails by using the command rails test for Minitest or rspec for RSpec. This will execute all your test cases.
