assert_response(type, message = nil)

public

Asserts that the response is one of the following types:

:success: Status code was 200
:redirect: Status code was in the 300-399 range
:missing: Status code was 404
:error: Status code was in the 500-599 range

You can also pass an explicit status code number as the type, like assert_response(501)
