Answer 1

You can change the behaviour of a model for your test suite. Say you have some after_save method defined and you do not want it to happen in your unit tests. This is how it works:

# models/person.rb
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

  def after_save
    # do something useful
  end

end


# test/unit/person_test.rb
require 'test_helper'

class PersonTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase

  class ::Person
    def after_save
      # do nothing
    end
  end

  test "something interesting" do
    # ...
  end
end
