Web Application Testing Framework

Hello,

I have been searching the forums here, but haven't found a thread on what I am looking for. We would like to build a RoR application as an automated test framework for testing *another* web application. All of the posts I have seen in this forum, the Rails test infrastructure is for testing the Rails application itself. However, that is not what we are looking for.

Rather, we would like the Rails application to store the test attributes (Name, Functional Area, Status, Start Time, End Time, Elapsed Time). The functional test infrastructure in Rails would store the tests that exercise our web application.

I like the notion of FIT to use table driven testing. It is a handy way to describe the test scenarios and test data.

Is this the correct application for Rails? Has someone already created a test framework using Rails? How to combine the FIT model with the Rails Model?

Thanks in Advance.
