I prefer webrat ( http://github.com/brynary/webrat ) for this type of testing if I'm using Ruby. You can use a browser if you want, or just run browserless for tests that don't rely on javascript.

My target audience isn't particularly web testers, you can probably get an idea of who I'm targeting by looking at the post in context. There's a lot of uses for these techniques outside of the designed for purposes :-)

That being said, thanks for the feedback. I will take a look at webrat, seems nice.

Really liked the post. Will definitely be something I'll re-read from time to time.

Hopefully this isn't in poor taste, I'm not trying to whore out my post. Just thought that some of you guys might be interested in this topic.

Please let me know what you think, I want to continue on with a few of these topics if people are interested in it.

Thanks!
