There's many examples of testing RoR model validations. Even keeping the test being DRY across multiple models. But isn't it testing Rails which is already tested?

@user = User.make
@user.name = nil

@user.should_not be_valid

Isn't it testing if Rails validations work?

The point is that you test that your model is using the validation. I agree with you, though, that your example tests">tests the validation itself, and the test is also somewhat ambiguous.

If you are using the shoulda gem, you can simply use should validate_presence_of(:name).
