## Test Output Results
## How to Make Test Output Results Clear?

You may find that the output of certain tests results are confusing. e.g.:

```shell
Expected ProjectPolicy to grant update? on #<Project:0x00007f7d04514ef0> for #<User:0x00007f7d045001a8> but it didn't
```

What is `#<User:0x00007f7d045001a8>`? A way to solve this problem is to simply monkey patch the `to_s` method within your tests.
What is `#<User:0x00007f7d045001a8>`?

```ruby
