It's worth it mate,

I would suggest that it is not necessarily desirable to test every method in
a model. Rather, it is desirable to test whether your model does what it is
supposed to do -- irrespective of the methods used to achieve that end. This
makes the refactor of
Even if, from a high level, your feature uncovers the fact that
there's a problem, a thorough set of specs testing specific low-level
behaviors can tell you exactly where that problem lies. Five minutes
of spec writing can save me an hour of troubleshooting. I'm still
pretty new to TDD, but the

Unit tests at the model level are very helpful and important IMO.
I tend to have very light unit tests on my views and fairly light on
my controllers since since the bulk of the code is in models (and
Cucumber tests the view/controller pretty well.)

Random thought, but if they're using RSpec for unit testing then the
test folder would be redundant (everything would go into spec/).
