Testing exceptions in Rails
If you want to make sure an exception is thrown in a Rails test just use the assert_raise assertion. For example, I am testing to make sure the SQL statement is invalid after it goes through my model’s validation
def test_exception
c = Content.new
# Title is missing
assert_raise ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid do
c.save
end
end
This snippet is looking for the ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid exception when it calls the c.save method.

We should test everything, because 30% of all proframs need to be done by ourselves, but then we're learning ;)

Yeah, that's really very simple and nice testing stuff. I always use it...
