Testing Stripe with Rails and RSpec

While Stripe may not be available everywhere or may not be everyone’s most cost-efficient card processor, I have found time and time again that their API and Dashboard are well thought out and “just work”.Testing Stripe will be a bit more involved than most another testing you will do within your application. Not only are you responsible for testing against the behavior of your application, but also keeping track of remote objects and responses on a third party API(Stripe). I am going to spare some of the details on getting Stripe and running in your application as it seems that it is covered many places and focus on some high-level techniques to test Stripe in your Rails application, using RSpec.
