What problem does it solve?

Writing and maintaining reliable RSpec tests for Ruby on Rails apps can be error-prone and hard to scale; this guide consolidates best practices to improve readability, determinism, and test coverage.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Clear guidance on spec types, factory design, flaky tests, shared examples, deterministic assertions, TDD discipline, and selecting first failing spec.
• Structured patterns for test organization, naming, and data setup to reduce flakiness and maintenance cost.
• Guidance on when to write model, controller, system, or job specs to maximize value.

Quick Start

Audit your current RSpec tests and implement the recommended best practices across factories, specs, and example structures.
