Find the cucumber project on github and you'll get a /features folder  
where you can write your full-stack tests, like rails 'integration'  
tests, or what the XP crowd like to call 'acceptance tests'.

You can then use the specs in the spec folder to drive out changes to  
individual classes, what the XP crowd calls unit testing.

How isolated you make those specs is up to you, but you'll find most  
people on this list will advocate using mocking to isolate  
controllers, I certainly do.
