+
+Here’s a basic example of a Capybara test for logging into Sauce Demo. This assumes you’re using RSpec for your testing framework.
+
+First, make sure you have Capybara and Selenium installed. You can add them to your Gemfile if you’re using Bundler:
+
+```bash
+gem 'capybara'
+gem 'selenium-webdriver'
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+```
+
+Now, here’s a simple test to automate the login process using Capybara and RSpec:
+
+```bash
+# spec/saucedemo_login_spec.rb
+
+require 'capybara/rspec'
+require 'selenium-webdriver'
+
+# Set up Capybara to use Selenium with Chrome
+Capybara.default_driver = :selenium_chrome
+
+RSpec.describe 'Sauce Demo Login', type: :feature do
+  before do
+    # Set up the base URL for the tests
+    Capybara.app_host = 'https://www.saucedemo.com/'
+  end
+
+  it 'logs into Sauce Demo successfully' do
+    # Visit the Sauce Demo login page
+    visit('/')
+
+    # Fill in the login form
+    fill_in 'user-name', with: 'standard_user'
+    fill_in 'password', with: 'secret_sauce'
+
+    # Click the login button
+    click_button 'Login'
+
+    # Expectation: Verify the user is redirected to the inventory page
+    expect(page).to have_content('Products')
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Explanation:
+
+	1.	Capybara Setup: We’re using selenium_chrome as the driver to run the tests in the Chrome browser.
+	2.	RSpec Test: The test navigates to the login page, fills in the username and password fields (standard_user and secret_sauce), clicks the login button, and then verifies that the user has been redirected to the “Products” page, indicating a successful login.
+	3.	Capybara Matchers: expect(page).to have_content('Products') ensures that after login, the page contains the word “Products,” confirming we’re on the inventory page.
+
+Running the Test:
+
+To run this test, you can execute:
+
+```bash
+rspec spec/saucedemo_login_spec.rb
+```
+
+This test will open a browser window, interact with the page, and check the login functionality of the Sauce Demo website.
