# Use Specific Cache Store In A Single Test
It is generally recommended to use `:null_store` as the default cache store
across your test suite. This is defined in `config/environments/test.rb`.
```ruby
config.cache_store = :null_store
```
This generally simplifies tests by avoiding confusing stateful scenarios.
If there is a test where you want to observe specific caching behavior, then
you'll need to temporarily swap that for another store.
One way to do that is by mocking the cache with `MemoryStore` in a before
block.
```ruby
describe '#caching_feature' do
# use MemoryStore cache for these tests
before do
allow(Rails)
.to receive(:cache)
.and_return(ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new)
end
it 'does caching' do
thing = Thing.caching_feature(1)
expect(thing.value).to eq true
thing.update(value: false)
thing = Thing.caching_feature(1)
expect(thing.value).to eq true
end
end
```
