Rails Rspec model testing skeleton & cheat sheet using rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, shoulda-callbacks, and factory_girl_rails. Pretty much a brain dump of examples of what you can (should?) test in a model. Pick & choose what you like, and please let me know if there are any errors or new/changed features out there.

rspec_model_testing_skeleton.rb
# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
#
# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!

# This skeleton also assumes you're using the following gems:

# rspec-rails: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails
# Shoulda-matchers: https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers
# shoulda-callback-matchers: https://github.com/beatrichartz/shoulda-callback-matchers
