Ruby on Rails

Thanks for your advise

I will follow them
However, I am thinking of limiting myself mostly to functional test
(testing controllers).
Is that ok ?

Your suggestions with source control an testdriven development implies
that I should make a new rails 3 application copying source from my
old application needed for each test then refactoring and enhancing
the code.
Is that correct or should I still try to upgrade the whole
application.
