# Acceptance Tests
Acceptance tests are tests from the perspective of the end-user.
It means that we are simulating what a user could do from their web browser
and testing the expected behavior of the app.
Acceptance tests can be found in the directory `spec/system` (in Rails terminology these are called "system tests").
You can run all acceptance tests with:
```shell
bundle exec rspec spec/system
```
To run an individual file you can use for example:
```shell
bundle exec rspec spec/system/user_views_a_reading_list_spec.rb
```
To run a specific test case you can use for example:
```shell
bundle exec rspec spec/system/user_views_a_reading_list_spec.rb:10
```
where `10` is the line number of the test case that you want to execute.
You can read the official guide [Testing Rails Applications](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html#system-testing) to learn more.
