I have been having problems with my tests timing out and failing randomly. I have been looking around for best practices of how to write robust capybara integration tests but I don't find anything helpful.

Ever since we started writing a bunch of tests our CI server has been failing randomly, making our app look ver unstable, but the tests always (mostly) pass locally.

I want to find out how you and other experienced BDD/TDD gurus handle:

  • How to deal with external javascript and stuff (KissMetrics, Google Analyics, etc) and
  • Debugging and preventing timeout errors that break the build

Any help would be appreciated.
