Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec (Rails 4.0 Edition)

## Overview
If you're delving into test-driven development with Rails, "Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec" by Aaron Sumner offers a practical foundation, particularly with the sample Rails 4.0.x application included in the repository. This resource is crafted to take you through the process of incremental testing by using an untested codebase, then developing it into a reliable application. Each chapter corresponds to a specific branch in the repository, allowing you to trace the evolution of testing practices step-by-step.

This approach not only reinforces the concepts learned in the book but also provides hands-on experience with RSpec as you move from model specs to controller specs and then onto feature specs. By utilizing Git for version control, you can easily explore the progress made throughout the chapters, making this an invaluable resource for beginners and seasoned developers alike.
