I'm using stories as acceptance tests and also replacing rails
integration tests. I find with stories I generally end up with good
coverage of all the things I would do for integration tests.

Webrat's great but you often have to turn to something that handles
JavaScript. I ended up using Selenium to handle this (Selenium-rc). I 
find in a big ajaxy web app, webrat accounts for about 10% of my 
stories.

Dealing with the running tests in both Webrat and a browser testing
framework requires some separation when running the stories. I've been
meaning to make a post on this...

Webrat has started to look at how its syntax can be used to drive
Selenium/Watir (checkout the latest in git). How useful this is and
where it goes I'm unsure but its interesting!

If you are using JRuby a nice tool which wraps the Java HtmlUnit is
Celerity:

At the moment I'm yet to see something like HtmlUnit on the ruby
platform. I watch Celerity in envy :)
