<br><br>Although some people have built Watir-based frameworks that store tests in spreadsheets (like SAFS), i think you'll find that most people find that they can create a simple dialect in Ruby that allows them to make tests simple. This is an advantage that Ruby has over many other languages. I've been doing a lot of this kind of thing personally lately and need to write it up....
