## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, web-development
- platform: ruby
- tags: acceptance-testing, selenium, browser-automation, rspec, rails, web-server
