Outline for Capygration Screencast

Capygration - Integration Testing Using Capybara and RSpec

Introduction, Assumptions, Problem, & Solution - Slides

1. This screencast is for beginning Rails developers but will benefit seasoned veterans
2. Cucumber is getting the hype lately because of it's syntax (show Gherkin syntax). Nice syntax comes with a lot of overhead (show file tree to manage feature).
3. Wouldn't it be nice to get great syntax in integration tests and only have to manage one file to do so?
4. Enter Capybara, created by Jonas Nicklas (show Capybara Github page)

Desktop demo - Code

1. Show base app and adding Capybara.
2. Show creating integration test for Project creation
3. Show running the test
4. Show creating Projects scaffold and getting the test to green

Advanced Usage - Slides

1. Show some advanced syntax taken from Github

Challenge - Slides

1. Challenge users to convert existing Cucumber steps or just start using Capybara in next app
