The class surveyed lots of differenttypes of tools.<br> As far as i know, no one has ever built a tool likeSelenium before. Thus it has to be installedon the server.<br> Watirhas an architecture that has often been used before; it benefits fromthe experiences of many people who have built similar toolsbefore.<br> For in house applications, most IT groupspick a browser, test the app on it, and then tell their users what touse. Most people, however, are only interested in aparticular area, like web testing or Java GUI testing.<br> Watirhas an architecture that has often been used before; it benefits fromthe experiences of many people who have built similar toolsbefore.

Using the DOM allows Watir-based tests torun in minimized browsers. He was developing the time tracking systemused inside ThoughtWorks.<br> Thus it has to be installedon the server.<br> His foremost goal was to create a tool that would allow him to testfor browser compatibility.<br> Many Watir users report that they are able to quickly get up and running and productive with Watir even if they don't know Ruby.<br> Although Selenium is written in JavaScript, Selenium tests arenot. Even the spammers are using it. Unlike Samie, it automatically anticipates whenit should wait for the next page to load in the browser. Using the DOM allows Watir-based tests torun in minimized browsers. COM is a long-standing Windows-based technology formaking libraries accessible to various languages. Although Selenium is written in JavaScript, Selenium tests arenot. In May, Paul Rogers and i will be teaching Scripting for Testers again at STAR Eastin Florida.<br> Selenium was designed for breadth ofcoverage.<br> Of the various automation tasks weoriginally presented, we found that the students were most interestedin driving a browser. All modern browsers support JavaScript, and therefore can bedriven by Selenium. Using the DOM allows Watir-based tests torun in minimized browsers.<br> Technically, Watir is a Ruby library that wraps the COM interface toInternet Explorer.<br> Well,actually, I was more willing than Brian, who has since become a Macuser. They include many detailedcomments.<br> Using the DOM allows Watir-based tests torun in minimized browsers. Although Selenium is written in JavaScript, Selenium tests arenot.<br> </body> </html> |
