Hey everyone,

With my recent run in with fixtures in the testing suite I was looking  
into others.

From what I can gather the all start line up is:

rspec -\> model and controller testing  
cucumber w/ webrat - \> integration / view testing  
machinist w/ sham -\> integration  
rails built in model testing.

So for the most part are you’re generated controller/functional/  
fixture test folders empty ? Most people rely on the testing provided  
by the 3rd parties ?
