Rails Routing

In general, the Rails Routing from the Outside In guide is chock full of very useful information. It's a great reference for learning and remembering anything routes-related.

Feature Tests

• They are a good choice for happy path tests. Sad paths are often times tested elsewhere (e.g., a controller test).
• They are like using a browser (just a headless one) and exercise the entire application stack.
• They are generally slower to run than other types of tests.
• They assert expectations mostly from the user's perspective (e.g., things visible to the user), but will occasionally need to assert an expectation against something only the application knows (e.g., Feedback.count)
