TDD Workshop: Mocking, Stubbing, and Faking External Services
summary
Workshop walks through writing failing specs and making them pass using shoulda matchers and RSpec, asserting model constraints like validates :name, presence: true, uniqueness: true. It shows unit tests for presence and uniqueness, how failures look, adding database-level constraints, and writing a custom validator with its own spec. Seven modules are planned and one module is completed; examples run and tests pass during the demo.
