Personally, I find unit tests to be rather tedious. I mean, testing whether or not an object gets saved to the database or an associated model gets updates seems fairly trivial. Functional tests are much more useful, I think, because you are testing all the way through to the model.
Try writing the test first, and never write production code until you can get a test to fail.
You don't write ActiveRecord::Base#save, so don't bother testing it. Any logic your models provide (maybe logic that could be refactored out of the controllers) gets new tests in the model.
Come to think of it, I don't test before adding has_many or similar. Maybe I should; the feature that needs the has_many should itself have a test that will fail if its not there...
