This is an honest question, not snark: has ASP.Net MVC got anything like cucumber available to it out of the box? Or rubygems, for that matter?

I did suggest to Sara Ford at a MixUK conf a couple of years ago that a Visual Studio plugin that would search for and import projects from CodePlex straight into your project would be pretty awesome; I never followed up on it, and I've been out of Windows dev since then so I haven't heard if anything similar exists. I still think it would rock :-)

Cucumber isn't strictly speaking out of the box - it's dead easy to install of course, but it's not part of the rails core distribution. Rails still uses Test::Unit by default.

Specflow (http://www.specflow.org/) is a .Net oriented BDD framework that uses Gherkin - essentially Cucumber for .Net.
