What I mean by testing the full stack is that you'd e.g. have this in your story: clicks_button "Delete" If you just use "delete some_url", there are two things that could be missed: 1) You have forgotten the DELETE method from your delete button. 2) The actual url in the form doesn't actually point to some_url. Neither of the two would be caught unless you used something like Webrat to drill through the whole stack. If you're using blog_path in the story, I feel like you're using the route to test itself.
