A standard javascript testing library would be awesome.

Today we struggle with lots of different aproaches to test javascript, using
only selenium, capybara/selenium, cucumber/capybara/selenium, jasmine,
etc... And other non Rails techniques. It would be great if we could rely
and focus on a single framework to develop to and help.
