[wtr-general] Re: Dwatir - Can this help running watir tests on remote machines?
Bret - I'm looking into this. I see all of the plugins for Selenium and I'm expecting to see something like, Plugin for Ruby Test::Unit or Rspec. Ultimately, Hudson has to be able to understand my test results. Is it a plugin that accomplishes that or do my tests need to emit XML? If it's XML, how do you do that?

Thank U all. The watir tool community is just great!! I will probably look into Hudson as I can't write such a framework myself.

Actually, I already have on of them, and it's kind of clunky (I built it on rails).
