Front-end integration testing with splinter

" summary

Demo project stores Python release dates and verifies a client-side DataTables view by driving a real browser and asserting rendered rows. Uses Splinter (Selenium wrapper) to click links and read titles, pairs with behave BDD step definitions and requests for protocol tests where HTTP status matters, runs Firefox under Xvfb in CI, and shows that JavaScript-driven table rendering can be tested end-to-end almost as simply as backend API checks.
