sudo gem install ZenTest
Then in your app/test/test_helper.rb add
require 'test/rails'
Then make a test class
class FooHelper
def print_hello_world
content_tag('p', 'Hello World!')
end
end
class FooHelperTest < Test::Rails::HelperTestCase
def test_method_goes_here
assert_equal '<p>Hello World</p>', print_hello_world
end
end
Of particular note, the name of the class that inherits from Test::Rails::HelperTestCase is very important. If the inheriting class name is MyHelperTest, make sure a module named MyHelper exists.

Actually, there's a better way to do this. It's in the ZenTest rdoc for Test::Rails::HelperTestCase. The idea is that you call inherited(YourModuleNameHere) at the top of your class, and it gets included. This way you can make your test calls directly without the hassle of an extra class and method proxy for each. Hope this helps! I hadn't even thought of the issue until running into your entry.
