This is a very high-risk upgrade, spanning two major versions of Rails (3 → 5). It introduces fundamental architectural changes and requires significant, staged code modifications and dependency updates.

Highlights:

• Rails (3.0.9 → 5.0.0): This upgrade introduces mandatory Strong Parameters, replacing attr_accessible and requiring changes in every controller that handles data. The Asset Pipeline, introduced in 3.1, changes how all CSS and JavaScript are managed. [1, 17] Models must now inherit from ApplicationRecord, and belongs_to associations are required by default, which can cause validation failures. [23, 26] The upgrade also requires moving from Ruby 1.8.7 to at least Ruby 2.2.2. [1, 26]

• rspec-rails (2.12.2 → 2.13.0): This is a low-risk minor update with backward-compatible enhancements and bug fixes. [19]

Source: Rails documentation
Recommendation: Do not merge directly. A staged upgrade approach is required: first to the latest Rails 3.2, then to 4.2, and finally to 5.0, resolving deprecations at each step. Extensive testing is critical.
