Hi, Lately I've found myself trying to reduce typing as much as possible, so when I have a lot of tests that only differ in a few variables, I tend to abstract them to reduce typing.
For instance, I have an assert_form_errors method that I call within a describe block to ensure the proper errors are displaying. I have an assert_form_fields method to validate that the fields that have errors are wrapped in div.error, and the ones that don't are not (that method should probably be renamed now that I think of it, but I'm not sure to what). That one is especially useful because it can test all of the fields in one go. So is this necessarily bad? I've heard it's not always good to reduce duplication in tests, but it just seems much preferable than copy/paste. Also, I fear it is becoming more test-like than behavior, but that's the way my testing is progressing.
