Ive been struggling with this type of thing too. At the upcoming awta conference Im going to demo an app that Ive wriiten for one of my clients that does most of this.
Im struggling with the concept of it though - I think I would rather just write ruby code. But I can appreciate why others in the group ( project managers etc ) would want to see results in some simple format. Im thinking of writing something similar as an open source project, but Im very time constrained at the moment. What Im finding is a bigger problem, but may be addressed by something like the tool I mention, is how to deal with the vast quantities of data that we use in our tests, and the relationships between the different data items. If there is enough interest maybe we should start a new rubyforge project to deal with it, rather than use this list.
