Yes, most of BuildRequires are needed for the tests to run
(at least that's what I have encountered so far). If you run
rpmbuild on the spec file and a dependency of a BuildRequires
is not met, it will halt with a message like:

error: Failed build dependencies:
        rubygem(activerecord) is needed by
rubygem-devise-2.2.4-1.fc19.noarch
        rubygem(multi_json) is needed by rubygem-devise-2.2.4-1.fc19.noarch

So, the next step would be to install what you are missing.
