view\_test is a similar implementation of rspec’s controller and view  
specs for test/unit.

It allows you to migrate existing tests one test at a time to create  
simpler functional tests by extracting out all of the view assertions  
into their own view\_test.

The 0.10.0 release allows you to drive your development with view  
tests . This means you can write a view test without having to have a  
corresponding controller in existence yet.

The goal of view\_test is to allow people who are using test/unit to  
achieve a better level of testing.
