You can keep inheriting from ActionController::TestCase, you just need to tell rails which controller class is being tested (by default rails gets this from the test class name):

class MoreTests < ActionController::TestCase
tests AccountsController
...
end

However, my testing has become significant enough that that file has gotten incredibly long. I would like to split my tests into individual files, like accounts_controller_test_index.rb, accounts_controller_test_show.rb, etc. I can do that, but it was a bit hacky-- the accounts_controller_test_show.rb had to look like this:
