Capybara is a Ruby acceptance test framework that simulates how a real user interacts with web applications. It works with multiple drivers such as Rack::Test and Selenium and automatically waits for asynchronous content to appear.

Use cases

• write acceptance tests for a rails app
• simulate user interactions in browser tests
• test web apps with selenium from ruby
• handle asynchronous javascript in integration tests
• run end-to-end tests with rspec or minitest
• fill in forms and click links programmatically in tests

When to choose

• you are testing a Ruby, Rails, or Rack web application
• you want user-level acceptance or integration tests with automatic synchronization
• you need a driver-agnostic testing DSL that works with Selenium or Rack::Test

When to avoid

• your application is not written in Ruby or Rack-based
• you need raw browser automation rather than a testing framework
• you are writing unit tests rather than acceptance tests
