Rails/Devise - What should I test with devise and rspec?

Many programmers use devise as their authentication solution and I 开发者_StackOverflow社区would like to get their advice:

Devise is already tested, but I want to know if there is something to test by myself (integration/unit/funtionnal tests?) for a standard devise integration with my knowledge (I'm not familiar with shoulda and cucumber, but I know a bit of rspec and factory girls)

Thanks for your advices!!

From the unit testing perspective, devise provides 2 helper methods

sign_in @user          # sign_in(resource)
sign_out @user         # sign_out(resource)

You might be needing them to test if your controller actions are behaving in a proper way such as not allowing you to create a post when you are not logged in.

From the Inegration testing perspective, define a bunch of cucumber steps which will do the same sign_in & sign_out something that looks like When /^I am signed in as (\w*)$/ do end and use that to do the actual navigation instead of using the rspec helpers provided by rspec.

That should be good.

Yes Cucumber Stories for this case are the best, using the Javascript Scenario's we do also test Facebook Connect and other OAuth Services, work pretty well :)

Testing the integration can be great. Because is how you integrate devise where you can do some error. Define some cucumber feature and it's OK.
