I’ve released a gem that lets you assert in rspec whether a given action  
or fragment has been cached. It works with memcached only.

Example:

lambda {  
get :index  
}.should be\_cached(controller, :action =\> ‘index’)

Available at:  
[http://rubygems.org/gems/caching\_matcher](http://rubygems.org/gems/caching_matcher)
