I asked a question about different testing frameworks yesterday. This question can be found here. Now that I have a better understanding of the different frameworks, I have a very simple question:

With a basic understanding, but very limited experience with writing tests with rails’ built in testing framework (basic assertions), would it be okay for me to jump directly to testing with RSpec, Webrat, and Cucumber?

Thank you!

As a side note: yes, this is an opinion based question, but I feel that the input received to this question is valuable enough to the community to keep this question open. Thanks.

    I never wrote a lot of tests with the build in testing framework, but jumped right in to use Cucumber with factory girl and RSpec and am VERY happy with it. I find it very easy to describe features I want to work on in Cucumber first. I always had trouble getting myself to write Unit tests first.

    So from my personal experience, I can encourage you to jump right into the fun stuff!
