Sometimes, it is helpful to manually write your scripts instead of recording them. Cases such as integrating your test plans with a continuous integration build server, or being able to debug your test plans from the comfort of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) benefit mostly from this.

Thankfully, there is a Ruby gem that provides a readable and concise DSL, allowing you to write test plans using the Ruby programming language.
