Macro test helpers for your view

By using the macro helpers you can quickly and easily create concise and easy to read test suites.

This code segment:

  context "on GET to :new" do
    setup do
      get :new
    end

    should_render_page_with_metadata :title => /index/

    should "do something else really cool" do
      assert_select '#really_cool'
    end
  end

Would produce 3 tests for the show action
