title: Testing controllers with Minitest
body: <p>I'm trying to find examples of testing controllers with Minitest, but I've only found a couple and the just verify what template is rendered and that 'success' is returned. That doesn't seem very helpful to me. Is Minitest used to test controllers?</p>
  
  <p>The Railscast ( <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/327-minitest-with-rails">http://railscasts.com/episodes/327-minitest-with-rails</a> ) and a couple other posts I've found seem to do model tests with Minitest and integration tests with Capybara. </p>
  
  <p>What about controller tests? Can they be tested with Minitest? If so, are there any real-world examples that actually test the actions? It seems very odd that I can't find any after literally hours of searching. </p>
  
  <p>I know this is vague, but I'm trying to decide if I should go with RSpec or Minitest, but without having a clue how to truly test a controller with Minitest, I'm not seeing how it's even really an option, yet I keep reading some general rave reviews about it.</p>
