Testing CRUD/Rest Controllers

Rails
1

I have a few simple controllers doing plain, simple crud in a standard
way.
now it’s not very DRY to write a funtcional test for each controller,
since
they are all doing the same (apart from a few variable names, but that
could
be easily inflected or so).
is there a way to do this?
e.g. does inheritance work with tests, so i define a base test first,
inherit my other tests and add a few controller-specific (if there are)?

or is there another way?

Mixins are a more Ruby way. See this post for details:
