  mount RuCaptcha::Engine => "/rucaptcha"
  ...
end

Controller app/controller/account_controller.rb

class AccountController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @user = User.new(params[:user])
    if verify_rucaptcha?(@user) && @user.save
      redirect_to root_path, notice: 'Sign up successed.'
    else
      render 'account/new'
    end
  end
end

View app/views/account/new.html.erb

<form>
  ...
  <div class="form-group">
    <%= rucaptcha_input_tag(class: 'form-control', placeholder: 'Input Captcha') %>
    <%= rucaptcha_image_tag(alt: 'Captcha') %>
  </div>
  ...
</form>

And if you are use Devise, you can read this to add validation: RuCaptcha with Devise.

Write your test skip captcha validation

describe 'sign up and login', type: :feature do
  before do
    allow_any_instance_of(ActionController::Base).to receive(:verify_rucaptcha?).and_return(true)
  end

  it { ... }
end
