Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
In this part, we’ll set up our testing environment so that we can test our Rails API using minitest with minitest/spec. We’ll look at the differences between traditional style unit tests and spec-style tests, or specs. I’ll demonstrate why you should use minitest-rails. We’ll look at using rack-test for testing our API. We’ll even create our own generator to generate API specs.

Application-as-a-Function Thinking
The "app-as-function" has some very concrete applications though, even outside languages like Haskell. The [rack-test](https://github.com/rack/rack-test) gem (and similar languages) work exactly like this: they run the "app" part without the "web server" part to enable much easier testing. Rack middlewares similarly treat the enclosed app as just a function taking some specified input and returning some output value.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
When starting a Rails project, you have a lot of decisions to make. Whether or not to write tests should not be one of them. The big decision is to use Minitest or Rspec. Both of those testing frameworks are great and provide everything you need to test a Rails application thoroughly.

Introduction to Rails API: How to Create Your First Endpoint in Less Than a Minute?
After all requests have been added, we need to cover them using request specs to ensure that everything will work as expected in the future as well. To add specs, we will use the rspec-rails gem. Our plan is to cover the 4 HTTP request methods that have been added above:

Should i learn testing
as a beginner you can skip it, just focus on understanding Rails' philosophy and getting comfortable with it. However, make sure you remember to come back to unit testing later bc it's a mandatory skill for a Rails developer. Unit test can help you understand your project's specs thoroughly (assume its test coverage is more than 90%). I recommend learning RSpec instead of Rails' built-in testing tool (the one being used in the Rails tutorial iirc)

Code Reviewing a Ruby on Rails application.
RSpec is a testing framework for Ruby that is widely used in the Ruby on Rails community. It allows developers to write and execute automated tests. RSpec promotes behavior-driven development (BDD) by providing a readable syntax for describing the expected behavior of the application.

Generating an OpenAPI/Swagger spec from a Ruby on Rails API
This is where rswag comes in. It is an extension to rspec-rails for "describing and testing API operations".
