Andrew, I've actually read allot of the book (but admittedly I brushed over
the cucumber sections), but I was confused at this point.

I understand the outside in development, etc.

What I was confused at was if the two technologies actually integrate at
some point.

i.e. if you run cucumber, will it go and run spec's for you also?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the cucumber step definitions do indeed use
webrat to hit the pages and verify things in the view pages correct?
