Acceptance Tests

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:

bundle exec rspec spec/system

To run an individual file you can use for example:

bundle exec rspec spec/system/user_views_a_reading_list_spec.rb

To run a specific test case you can use for example:

bundle exec rspec spec/system/user_views_a_reading_list_spec.rb:10

where 10 is the line number of the test case you want to execute.

You can read the official guide Testing Rails Applications to learn more.
