Hi,

This week I have been writing shit loads of very similar tests for my  
admin controllers. It was a terrible PITA as they all look the same, so  
it was a lot of copying and pasting.

What do you guys do to write admin controllers and their tests? Use  
something like resource\_controller?

Regards,
