Symbiont ======== Description ----------- The Symbiont gem is designed to provide an open framework for running automated tests against a browser using popular web testing interfaces. Meaning ------- A "symbiont" is an organism in a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship. Some of these relationships are called _obligate_, which means that both organisms need each other in order to survive. Other such relationships are called _facultative_, meaning that both organisms don't strictly need each other to survive, but they stand a better chance if they do. Symbiotic relationships include associations in which one organism lives on another organism -- _ectosymbiosis_ -- or where one organism lives inside the other -- _endosymbiosis_. So, with that bit of context, think of this gem as a facultative, endosymbiotic organism that lives within your test logic, giving it strength and sustenance.
