Capybara Insights

What is Capybara?

Capybara is a Ruby-based acceptance test framework for web applications. It simulates how a user interacts with a web application, allowing developers to write tests that verify the application's behavior from the user's perspective. It's commonly used to automate browser interactions, such as clicking links, filling out forms, and asserting the presence of specific content on a page, thus ensuring the application functions as expected.
