Question

Where should I put test data that is for RSpec testing purposes only?

Answer 1

Like many things in life, it depends.

1. If you’re using fixtures, they live in test/fixtures.
2. If you’re using factory_girl with RSpec, it can read from a number
   of places but spec/factories/*.rb seems the most sensible
   place to put them.
3. If you’re using something else, check the documentation for your
   other fixture or factory gem.
