What about something like this?
def sign_up(attributes = {})
attributes.reverse_merge!(:first_name => "First",
:last_name => "Last",
:email => "[email protected]",
:password => "password",
:password_confirmation => "password")
fill_in "First Name", :with => attributes[:first_name]
fill_in "Last Name", :with => attributes[:last_name]
fill_in "Email Address", :with => attributes[:email]
fill_in "Password", :with => attributes[:password]
fill_in "Confirm Password", :with => attributes[:password_confirmation]
click_on "Submit"
end
Then call it with different attributes based on your scenarios:
sign_up(:password_confirmation => "foo")
sign_up(:email => '')
