CanCan Testing: RSpec Unit Tests for Ruby Authorization

The ryanb/cancan repository demonstrates comprehensive unit testing practices using RSpec as the primary testing framework. The test suite focuses on verifying CanCan's core authorization functionality, including permission management, resource loading, and exception handling. The RSpec tests thoroughly cover critical components like the Ability class, controller integrations, and custom authorization matchers. Qodo Tests Hub provides developers with detailed insights into CanCan's testing patterns and implementations. Through the platform, developers can explore real-world examples of authorization testing, understand how to structure unit tests for permission systems, and learn best practices for testing Ruby-based authorization libraries. The repository's test suite serves as a practical reference for implementing robust authorization testing in Ruby applications.
