i couldn't agree more

but sometimes paying clients like to "see" things so they continue to 
believe that by paying you they're dealing with the best. (obviously 
it's not true, i can barely evaluate the immensity of my own ignorance, 
but what matters is what the guys paying think of us when they sign 
checks)

so anyway, i figured it would be nice to have the test units being run 
by scripts, and occasionally during meetings or presentations with 
clients show something more sexy without having to endure the 
development of the sexy GUI myself.

so i figured maybe --runner=fox was worth trying.


i hope this clarify things :)

ps : i also saw the cucumber/rspec output which is really professional 
looking

so i'll definitely look into this once i'm more familiar with rspec and 
unit testing in ruby in general.
