How does Lightcast define a skill?
Behat

Behat is a testing framework designed for behavior-driven development (BDD) that allows developers to write human-readable tests in plain language. It allows developers to define the desired behavior of an application in a "Given-When-Then" format, which can then be executed to verify that the application behaves as expected. In short, Behat enables efficient testing and validation of an application's behavior with minimal technical knowledge.

Capybara is an open-source software library in the Ruby programming language that automates web applications testing. It simulates scenarios that users would encounter while navigating through a web application, such as filling out forms, clicking links, and submitting data. Capybara is commonly used in combination with other testing frameworks like RSpec and Cucumber to provide end-to-end testing of web applications. It provides a high-level API that allows developers to write tests in a more human-readable format, making test automation more accessible to non-technical stakeholders.

Git Flow is a workflow methodology for using the Git version control system. It defines a set of guidelines for how to manage branches, releases, and hotfixes in a software development project. The Git Flow approach involves creating separate branches for different stages of development, such as feature development, bug fixing, and release preparation, and using a series of commands to manage the merging and deployment of changes. This helps to ensure that development is organized and efficient, and that changes are properly tested and vetted before being integrated into the master branch.

Minitest, which refers to a Ruby testing library for verifying software behavior and functionality. It is used to create and run unit tests, specifications, and software behavior tests.

Rspec is a behavior-driven development (BDD) tool for Ruby programmers that allows them to write automated tests for their code. It focuses on describing the expected behavior of code in a clear and concise manner, making it easier to develop high-quality software with fewer bugs. Rspec allows developers to write tests that are easy to understand and maintain, and provides a flexible framework for organizing and running tests. It is widely used in the Ruby community and is considered an essential tool for building reliable and robust applications.
