The record

What it does: Geb is a browser automation solution for scripting, screen scraping, general automation, and web or acceptance testing.
Technology: Geb combines WebDriver, jQuery inspired content selection, Page Object modelling, and Groovy.
Cross browser: Geb works with browsers supported by WebDriver and can use remote drivers to automate browsers on another machine.
Headless mode: Geb can use the in-process Java browser emulator HTMLUnit with WebDriver.
Navigation: The Navigator API selects and traverses page content using CSS selectors, attribute matchers, indexes, and chained operations.
Dynamic pages: Geb provides configurable waitFor clauses and implicit waiting for asynchronous page content.
Test frameworks: Geb provides integration modules for Spock, JUnit, TestNG, and Cucumber via Cucumber JVM.
Cloud browser integrations: The manual documents driver factories and Gradle plugins for Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, and LambdaTest.
Build systems: Geb documents integrations for Gradle and Maven and says it can be integrated into any build system.
Installation: Geb Core is available as a single geb-core JAR from Maven Central and can be added through Groovy Grape, Maven, or Gradle.
License and backing: Geb is free open source software under the Apache License, Version 2.0, supported by the Apache Software Foundation and the Groovy community.
Support: The project offers support through the geb-users mailing list, GitHub Discussions, and the Groovy Slack #geb channel.
Security policy: The project’s GitHub repository links to a security policy.
Notable limit: Geb builds on WebDriver, so supported browser automation depends on the browsers available through WebDriver.
