These sound like unit tests for the model to me. As mentioned views are
dumb (unless you're talking about client-side JavaScript validation).
What you really care about is whether invalid data can make it through
your model validation.

The kinds of things you want to test in your view specs is whether the
text field gets rendered, that it's the right kind of control, has the
right style class or id applied to it, that it has the right label, etc.

If you want to create specs for user acceptance then integration specs
are the place to do that. As also mentioned; Cucumber provides a great
way to provide those integration specs. Cucumber makes the acceptance
test easy for the stakeholder to read and understand, which is vital to
good user acceptance scripts.
