CasperJS
Build Status
>Important note: the master branch hosts the development version of CasperJS, which is now pretty stable and should be the right version to use if you ask me. Users interested in a pretty stable, recent version working with PhantomJS 2.0 and newer should choose the packaged 1.1.0 and following releases.
The 1.0 branch is now obsolete. Please note that
>- it is only recommended if you need to keep old production tests running that could do with the now unmaintained PhantomJS 1.9 >- 1.0 tests unfortunately have to be run manually using the casperjs selftest command
Note that all versions up to and including 1.1-beta3 do not support PhantomJS 2.0 and newer.

The complete documentation for the current releases is hosted on docs.casperjs.org.

Show me some code!

First install CasperJS, we'll use 1.1 beta here.
Sample test to see if some dropdown can be opened:
casper.test.begin('a twitter bootstrap dropdown can be opened', 2, function(test) {
    casper.start('http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/javascript.html#dropdowns', function() {
        test.assertExists('#navbar-example');
        this.click('#dropdowns .nav-pills .dropdown:last-of-type a.dropdown-toggle');
        this.waitUntilVisible('#dropdowns .nav-pills .open', function() {
            test.pass('Dropdown is open');
        });
    }).run(function() {
        test.done();
    });
});
