In my ApplicationController I have a method defined as a helper method:
helper_method :some_method_here
I'm using Rails3 with RSpec2

A helper method is a small utility function that can be used to extract logic from views and controllers, keeping them lean. Views should never have logic because they're meant to display HTML.
A Helper method is used to perform a particular repetitive task common across multiple classes. This keeps us from repeating the same piece of code in different classes again and again. And then in the view code, you call the helper method and pass it to the user as an argument.
You can use an anonymous controller to test your ApplicationController, as describe in the RSpec documentation. There's also a section on testing helpers.
