This is a very high-risk upgrade, spanning two major versions with significant breaking changes. The upgrade from Rails 3.0.9 to 5.0.0 requires migrating across major architectural shifts, including the introduction of Strong Parameters and new application conventions. The rspec-rails upgrade is minor and considered low risk.

Rails 3.0.9 → 5.0.0 (High Risk):
This upgrade crosses from Rails 3 to 4, and then 4 to 5. Each step introduces substantial breaking changes.

Highlights:

• Rails 3 → 4: Mass-assignment protection using attr_accessible is removed in favor of strong_parameters, which requires significant controller refactoring. Route definitions using match must be replaced with specific HTTP verbs (e.g., get, post).
• Rails 4 → 5: Requires Ruby 2.2.2+. Models must now inherit from ApplicationRecord instead of ActiveRecord::Base. Controller test helpers like assigns are extracted into the rails-controller-testing gem.

Source: Official Rails Guides
Recommendation: Do not attempt this upgrade in a single step. A staged migration (e.g., 3.0 → 3.2 → 4.0 → 4.2 → 5.0) is strongly advised to address deprecation warnings and breaking changes incrementally. A comprehensive test suite is critical for a successful migration.

Additional upgrades: rspec-rails 2.12.2 → 2.13.0 (low risk), which contains backward-compatible enhancements and bug fixes.
