ok.. so being new to testing i would not have thought that this would be as big of a challenge as it is.
so far all i have gotten from it is even more broken tests, the knowledge that fixtures blow and a non functional Test suit. installing auto test was a good idea but trying to simplify fixtures with fixture_scenarios_builder broke everything.
i would not have thought that it would slow me down as much as it has. i mean i like the idea of testing and i think it is really important but the getting used to it is not as much fun as rails usually is in every other aspect.
what kind of an experience has rails testing been for everyone else?

I found fixtures to be a godsend, but I wasn't using anything more than the builtin foxy fixtures in rails 2.0, writing tests requires quite a different mindset to writing code, and there is quite a lot of repetition, I use Test::Unit and shoulda to help with the more boring stuff.
