What is Capybara?
Capybara is a Ruby library that simplifies the simulation of user interactions with an application. It provides a consistent API for driving various web browsers, allowing developers to write automated tests that mimic real-world user scenarios. The library abstracts away the underlying complexities of different browser technologies, enabling developers to focus on describing user behavior rather than dealing with low-level implementation details. Capybara's functionality includes navigating through web pages, interacting with form elements, and verifying the expected application behavior, all without the need for manual user interactions
