I just watched the video & skimmed the readme / tutorial on github — it sounds pretty similar to FiveUI [1], but with more of a focus on site-specific tests than general guidelines. (disclaimer: I’m the project lead / maintainer for FiveUI)

There seems to be a notion of needing more semantic definitions associated with the DOM in both projects, I’d like to see a community-accepted set of semantic annotations (similar to the WAI ARIA roles, but at a finer granularity), but the concept of ‘widgets’ in Watai seems like it could fill that gap.
