I'm actually doing a bit of both. I write all my controller specs without integrate_views, with separate specs for the views. On top of that I'm also including very simple specs for each action in the controller including views and relying on fixtures, mostly like this: it 'should be a valid page' do get :index response.should be_xhtml end Even though all the behaviour is tested without views and fixtures, this additional check helps to find problems in the interaction between views, controller, and model, and it is the only way I know to validate the pages as XHTML. Kind regards, Hans
