Description
-----------

The Symbiont gem is designed to provide an open framework for running automated tests against a browser using popular web testing interfaces.

Right now the best information on the purpose of this project and how it works can be found on [my Symbiont-tagged blog posts](http://testerstories.com/?cat=16).

Installation
------------

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'symbiont'
    
And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install symbiont

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.
