When testing a view you want to stub the controller and render its view. In a before block, start by creating an intense of the controller that will render your view:

 
  @controller = Posts.new(fake_request) 

Posts
being the name of my controller 
fake_request
is a helper (TODO: explain more)

Next we need to assign some values to pass to the view:

 
 @controller.assigns[:posts] = [Post.new(:id => 1, :body => "Merb!")]

In this example we are creating a controller instance variable called @posts, it’s an array containing one instance of the Post object with 2 attributes set: id and body.

Finally, we can use the rspec matchers to mkae sure our views are ok.
