Go with the concept of FatModels and SkinnyControllers. Your models should know how they behave and what they should do.

When your models get too fat, extract them out into re-usuable modules and include them in your module.

• Example of taking code from the views and moving into the model

You can easily test behavior of models using RSpec (or test/unit or shoulda). Then you can test that the application behaves correctly using Cucumber.
