How can I use OS X's Accessibility API to write acceptance tests for my applications?

Question

I'm writing a GUI application in Cocoa. I'd like to use Cucumber to write acceptance tests to continually verify that the application's features work. I'm already writing the application in MacRuby.

Can I use the Accessibility API to click things and drag things around? Where can I read about how to do such things? I've found Apple's site to be relatively mum on the topic.

I'd suggest checking out Frank. It uses the accessibility approach and has worked great for me so far!
