Testing the First Name Guesser website with Cucumber + Capybara

===

Cucumber is a tool that executes plain-text functional descriptions as automated tests. The language that Cucumber understands is called Gherkin. If you look at the features/first_name_guesser_test.feature file, you could see that it is very easy to understand what the test is trying to acomplish.

Capybara is a library written in the Ruby programming language which makes it easy to simulate how a user interacts with your application. Capybara can talk with many different drivers which execute your tests through the same clean and simple interface. features/step_definitions/first_name_guesser.rb is the Capybara test file.
