mass_assignment_test_helper

This is a test helper that you can place into your test_helper.rb file to aid in testing your ActiveRecord models against mass assignment vulnerabilities.

The following form adds a method named test_mass_assignment_is_secure to your class, so that mass assignment checks are a bit prettier:

test_mass_assignment_secure SomeModel, :first_name, :last_name

You can also just assert mass security in your test with:

assert_mass_assignment_secure SomeModel, :first_name, :last_name

In both instances the first argument is the name of the model that you want to test, and :first_name and :last_name fields are fields that are meant to be open to mass assignment.
