# RSpec Testing for Rails

## Overview

Write comprehensive, maintainable RSpec tests following industry best practices. This skill combines guidance from Better Specs and thoughtbot's testing guides to produce high-quality test coverage for Rails applications.

## Core Testing Principles

### 1. Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Follow the Red-Green-Refactor cycle:
- **Red**: Write failing tests that define expected behavior
- **Green**: Implement minimal code to make tests pass
- **Refactor**: Improve code while tests continue to pass
