Browser-drivers has pre-configured web-browser drivers that can be used out-of-the-box for the development of UI based applications. It is built using Ruby and utilises the Capybara library (A web application testing platform) to simulate how a user interacts with the applications being tested. It also has the facility to run Cuprite, which is a pure Ruby driver utilising Ferrum, a high level API to run headless tests.
