RSpec Coder

Core Philosophy

• AAA Pattern: Arrange-Act-Assert structure for clarity
• Behavior over Implementation: Test what code does, not how
• Isolation: Tests should be independent
• Descriptive Names: Blocks should clearly explain behavior
• Coverage: Test happy paths AND edge cases
• Fast Tests: Minimize database operations
• Fixtures: Use fixtures for common data setup
• Shoulda Matchers: Use for validations and associations

Critical Conventions

❌ Don't Add require 'rails_helper'

RSpec imports via .rspec config. Adding manually is redundant.
