+1 for Cucumber. For a while now I've been looking for something that would output simple HTML reports with embedded screenshots for failures. Crucially, I wanted something simple and quick to implement. I had previously read the article that Chuck linked, and it deterred me for a long time, but I caved in yesterday and decided to give Cucumber a go. I have to be honest, I really like it. Once you get your head around it, it's very easy to use and the reports it outputs are very easy for anybody to understand.
I have scripted mine so that it only includes screenshots of failed steps. I'm no expert but feel free to PM me if you need a hand.
