The same sort of thing should be possible for various kinds of native too. You'll need a selenium-esque library that can interact with UIs and take screenshots in your environment.

But yeah, if you dont have one of those tools or its super unreliable or it's only available in a language you cant use then you cant do this.

I dont really consider this to be bending the rules of TDD. It's more like next gen TDD IMO.
