rails test method you have used run all unit, functional and integration tests. To run only a single test you can use invitation test as follows

 ruby -Itest test/controllers/static_pages_controller_test.rb

You can also run a particular test method from the static_pages_controller_test by using the -n switch with the test method name as follows.

 ruby -Itest test/controllers/static_pages_controller_test.rb -n test_method_name
