= Terminus

* http://terminus.jcoglan.com

Terminus is an experimental Capybara driver implemented in client-side
JavaScript. It lets you script your application in any browser on any device,
without needing browser plugins. This allows several types of testing to be
automated:

* Cross-browser testing
* Multi-browser interaction e.g. messaging apps
* Testing on remote machines, phones, iPads etc.


== Notes / to-do

* Support IE, which has no built-in XPath engine for querying the DOM. I'm
  working on Pathology (see http://github.com/jcoglan/pathology) to try and fix
  this but it's currently not fast enough.
  
* It's slow, especially at filling out forms. Use it to sanity-check your
  cross-browser code and JavaScript, not to test your whole app.
  
* It can be a little brittle, and occasionally there seem to be race conditions
  when running the Capybara specs.
