Here's part of a spec (with some details changed/omitted) for an observer
that notifies another system via a SOAP API that a user was created:

describe UserObserver do

  before(:each) do
    @observer = UserObserver.instance
  end

  it "sends notification of creation" do
    user = mock_model(User, :email_address => "[email protected]", ...)
    expected_attributes = {
      :id => user.id,
      :"email-address" => user.email_address,
      ...
    }
    SomeApi.should_receive(:user_created).with(:attributes =>
expected_attributes).and_return("created")
    @observer.after_create(user)
  end
end

When testing your model that this observer observes, you might want to use
the no peeping toms plugin [
http://github.com/pat-maddox/no-peeping-toms/tree/master ] to prevent
observers from being notified.
