We're joined by Josh Clayton to discuss our differing strategies on testing view behavior, strategies for dealing with brittle feature specs, and what types of tests each of us favor.

• Verifying partial doubles
• Decent exposure
• Defining helpers directly on the view in view specs
• Don't stub the system under test
• Clearance Back Door
• Automatic form filling driven by i18n and Factory Girl with Formulaic
• Mystery guests
• Using data attributes to decouple data from presentation
• Testing pyramid
• Shoulda Matchers
• Consistency Fail
