That said, things like nice pretty HTML reports (which can even feature embedded screenshots) are a really nice 'side benefit' of the tool. Those benefits (along with not having to create your own framework, re-usable steps, running various selections of scenarios according to 'tags' and a host of other things are large enough that I think you can justify using Cukes even if you don't have full buy in at the collaboration tool level. However, if you do that, IMHO you really need to work hard to avoid some of the traps mentioned in the link above. I can go on at some length about that, but that would be a thread-jacking, so I will reframe. -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
