I've read quiet a bit of documentation over the last few days about testing in Rails, I'm sitting down to write my first real test and not 100% sure how to tie what I have learned together to achieve the following functional test (testing a controller)

I need to send a GET request to a URL and pass 3 parameters (simple web-service), if the functionality works the keyword true is simply returned, otherwise the keyword false is returned - its in only value returned & not contained in any <div>, <span> or other tags.

The test should assert that if "true" is returned the test is successful.

This is probably very simple so apologies for such a non-challenging question.

If anyone could point me in the write direction on how I can get started, particularly how I can test the response, I'd be very grateful!
