## What it is
Teaspoon is a JavaScript test runner built as a Ruby gem for Rails applications. It runs tests in the browser or headlessly via PhantomJS or Selenium WebDriver, with support for Jasmine, Mocha, and QUnit frameworks and BrowserStack grid providers.

## Use cases
- run javascript tests in a rails app
- test javascript headlessly with selenium or phantomjs
- run jasmine, mocha, or qunit specs through the rails asset pipeline
- run javascript tests on browserstack
- generate code coverage for javascript tests in rails
- run javascript tests in continuous integration

## When to choose
- you have a Rails application and need to test its JavaScript
- you want Jasmine, Mocha, or QUnit integrated with the Rails asset pipeline
- you need headless or cross-browser JavaScript testing including BrowserStack

## When to avoid
- your project is not a Rails app
- you want a modern actively developed test runner (e.g. Jest, Vitest)
- you need a framework-agnostic Node.js testing setup

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, web-development
- platform: ruby, cli
- tags: rails, javascript-testing, jasmine, mocha, qunit, selenium, browserstack, phantomjs, test-runner, asset-pipeline, code-coverage, javascript, web-server
