Of course you could build your own testing, but why reinvent the wheel?  
😉

there are some mighty tools out there to do that already:  
My favorite is [http://rubyselenium.rubyforge.org/](http://rubyselenium.rubyforge.org/)  
(cross-platform/browser)  
but there is also Watir [http://wtr.rubyforge.org/](http://wtr.rubyforge.org/) wich depends on IE  
(that was  
the last status i heard)

Hope that helps
