How to Use Shoulda Matchers with RSpec for Ruby on Rails
According to the shoulda-matchers documentation:
-
Rspec - should relations between model be tested?
The value of shoulda-matchers is right there in the first line of the README: "test common Rails functionality that, if written by hand, would be much longer, more complex, and error-prone."

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)
