    # Given the following spec-style test:
    #
    #   describe WidgetsController, :index do
    #     describe "authenticated user" do
    #       describe "returns widgets" do
    #         it "has a controller that exists" do
    #           assert_kind_of WidgetsController, @controller
    #         end
    #       end
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # The test will have the following name:
    #
    #   "WidgetsController::index::authenticated user::returns widgets"
    #
    # The constant WidgetsController can be resolved from the name.
    # The following code will resolve the constant:
    #
    #   controller = determine_constant_from_test_name(name) do |constant|
    #     Class === constant && constant < ::ActionController::Metal
    #   end
