Hi
Thank you for your response
I gone through the links and your explanation but frankly speaking i
understood but not fully
I have one doubt
unit testing (For model)
what it does?(According to my knowledge)
1. It inserts in to database an temporary data from fixtures something.yml
when i run rake test:units
FunctionalTesting (For controller)
what it does?(According to my knowledge)
It checks if the controller is working correctly or not
But when i run rake test:functionals i have one method called
def test_should_create_post
assert_difference('Post.count') do
post :create, :post => {:title=>"my",:body=>"my body" }
end
but it is not adding to database
please tell me
1. what unit test does
2. what functional test does
