This is part one of a three part series on dealing with legacy code. We'll start with a completely untested Rails controller, put tests around it that cover all of the cases, and then extract pieces of the code safely using the tests, while simultaneously pushing the tests down to lower levels of isolation. In this screencast, we introduce the code and try to create an exhaustive list of pending RSpec contexts and examples.
