Rails - Oct 2004 - Functional testing improves radically

Thanks to the awesome work of what-a-day, Rails 0.8 will feature much 
better functional testing support than what was the case earlier. His 
great stuff is already integrated and applied to the Action Pack CVS.

Small example of Old vs New style:

Complete example of the new style (from actual Basecamp code):
http://codepaste.org/view/paste/334

Wow!  This is an incredible improvement.

So, "what-a-day" is the name of the person who did this?  Thanks to
whoever you are :)  This will supply the motivation required to
actually do functional tests for my rails apps.
