If you're planning to do xUnit style testing then I would recommend using Ruby 1.9's build-in test framework called MiniTest:

You can even opt for RSpec style BDD testing as described (pun intended) toward the end of the above blog.

Alternatively you may also choose the excellent, and very popular, RSpec for comprehensive BDD style testing:

Start by working through the tutorial railstutorial.org (which is free to use online). That gives a good introduction to testing.
