This Skill guides you in writing comprehensive tests in RSpec for Ruby and Rails applications, covering models, requests, system specs, factories, mocks, and TDD workflows.
Create a basic model spec and run the test suite with bundle exec rspec to validate behavior.

Model specs in RSpec test your application logic and validations. Write specs that verify model behavior, associations, and validations by creating instances, calling methods, and asserting outcomes using RSpec matchers like `expect()` and `be_valid`.
FactoryBot generates realistic test data efficiently. Define factories with attributes matching your models, then use `create()` or `build()` in specs to generate instances without manual setup, reducing duplication and improving maintainability.
Mocks and doubles in RSpec replace external dependencies and verify interactions. Use `double()`, `spy()`, and `allow()` to stub methods, test behavior in isolation, and assert that collaborators receive expected calls without hitting the database or external services.
RSpec supports request specs for API endpoints and system specs for full user workflows. Request specs test routing and controller logic; system specs simulate browser interactions with Capybara, covering the full request cycle.
Run `bundle exec rspec` to execute all specs, `bundle exec rspec spec/models` for a specific directory, or `bundle exec rspec path/to/spec.rb:10` for a single test at line 10, validating behavior against your test suite.
TDD with RSpec follows red-green-refactor: write a failing spec, implement the minimum code to pass it, then refactor. This cycle ensures tests drive design, reduce bugs, and keep code maintainable from the start.
