For the $27 I would highly recommend the three peepcode rspec  
screencasts… see [peepcode.com](http://peepcode.com) for details. no affiliation, just  
like their stuff.

Here’s my long tutorial for beginners on unit testing.

[http://www.nullislove.com/2007/11/10/testing-in-rails-introduction/](http://www.nullislove.com/2007/11/10/testing-in-rails-introduction/)

I would love to write up functional testing next but just haven’t had  
the spare time yet.

The O’Reilly tutorials I did include ones on unit, functional, and  
integration testing at a beginner level. They might be of interest to  
you.

The testing tutorials extend the initial app development tutorials which  
start here:
