title: Cucumber/Capybara vs Selenium?
body: <p>The other day I was showing one of the testers at my company some tests I had written in cucumber (2 features, 5 scenarios).
  Then he asked me question that I could not answer:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>How is this better than selenium or any other functionality test recording tool?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I understand that cucumber is a different technology and it's placed at a different level of testing, but I can't understand why I should bother to write and maintain Cucumber/Capybara tests.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone give me a reasonable explanation for using Cucumber/Capybara instead of just Selenium?</p>
