1. rails plugin new <project_name> -T -d postgresql --dummy-path=spec/dummy --skip-turbolinks --skip-spring --mountable

• -T skips the creation of the test directory and the use of Test::Unit
• --dummy-path=spec/dummy sets up your dummy app in a spec directory
• --skip-turbolinks & --skip-spring creates a project that does not use turbolinks or spring
• --mountable creates a "mountable" and namespace-isolated engine.

2. In Gemfile:

• gem 'rspec-rails' - user rspec in place of minitest (docs)
• gem 'capybara' - act as a user navigating your site in tests (docs)
• gem 'factory_girl_rails' - easily generate database objects without repetitive code in tests (docs)
• gem 'database_cleaner' - clean your database between tests (docs)
