Hi,

I know that I cannot use WatiR because of its C implementation but what  
other tools (gems) are available which can be used for acceptance  
testing  
(browser, winforms, wpf) applications.

Has anyone successfully integrated any of the gems with IronRuby?

Links or resources!

There is the bewildr gem for testing WPF apps:

In addition to WatiR there is WatiN (.NET) and WatiJ (Java). You might  
have better success with WatiN. There’s also Selenium. Though a bit old,  
here’s an article on setting up Selenium with Cucumber:

I’ve not tried, but others may have. You may also look at FitNesse since  
it has both .NET and Ruby extensions, and I wonder if that would work  
with IronRuby.
