    <p>Ruby has this great abstraction layer on top of Selenium called Capybara, which you can use do functional/acceptance/integration testing. It also has another library called Cucumber which takes this a step further and lets you actually write tests in English.</p> <p>Both libraries are built on top of Selenium, and can be used to test against any major browser, but because of their abstraction layers it's super easy to write tests using them (well, as easy as functional testing gets at least).</p> <p>My question is: does Python have anything like that? I have found Pythonistas doing functional testing with various tools but ...</p> <p>A) Splinter: doesn't use Selenium (and doesn't have an IE driver)</p> <p><strong>-EDIT-</strong> It appears Spliter now does use Selenium (see answers below).</p> <p>B) Alfajor: hasn't been updated in over a year; looks dead</p> <p>C) Selenium (raw): a lot of people seem to be using Selenium directly, but it seems like an abstraction layer could make it a lot easier to use</p> <p>So, does anyone know of anything Capybara-like, or better yet Cucumber-like, for Python (it doesn't have to actually use Selenium, but it needs to support all major browsers)?</p> <p><strong>* EDIT *</strong></p> <p>For those that aren't familiar with Capybara, it basically just adds an API so that instead of the normal Selenium API you can do something like this:</p> <pre><code>When /I sign in/ do within("#session") do fill_in 'Login', :with =&gt; 'user@example.com' fill_in 'Password', :with =&gt; 'password' end click_link 'Sign in' end </code></pre> <p>It's used by Cucumber, which let's you further abstract (almost to English):</p> <pre><code>Scenario Outline: Add two numbers Given I have entered &lt;input_1&gt; into the calculator And I have entered &lt;input_2&gt; into the calculator When I press &lt;button&gt; Then the result should be &lt;output&gt; on the screen Examples: | input_1 | input_2 | button | output | | 20 | 30 | add | 50 | </code></pre> <p>I would LOVE a Python Cucumber equivalent, but even just a Capybara equivalent would be helpful.</p>

    1. COWhile it's true that splinter doesn't support IE, it does use Selenium. Take a look at the how the web drivers are implemented https://github.com/cobrateam/splinter/tree/master/splinter/driver/webdriver

    2. COWell, it looks like Splinter has improved significantly since I last looked at it (instead of the professional-looking site it has now, I remember a white page with a rat sketch). That being said, IMHO if someone is evaluating a library, they shouldn't have to dig in to the driver code to learn about it; the library should say as much on the front page. While the new site is great, I still see nothing about Selenium on the front page.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
