Hi, I've build a simple framework around TestObject modelling at one company. I am in the middle of specifying and building something like that again. It's much easier second time around. What I've found out is that it is useful to model Business Domain Objects with Ruby classes by building some kind of Adapters or facade type pattersn and wire them up to talk to Watir code So for example if a Page has a Query TestObject that has 3 attributes :street, :city, :zip and you can invoke a search with those attributes I would model it like this: class Query < TestObject def set_city end def set_street end def set_zip end def search end end
Now I can write many tests by flooding the TestObject with query configurations and searching them. my data model comes first query=[:city, 'Seattle', :street, 'Stoneway', :zip, '99999'] q = Query.new q.set_city(query[:city]) q.set_street(query[:zip]) q.set_zip(query[:zip]) q.search ... then capture search results and do some asserts. By making a Facade using Domain Model vocabulary I can then wire Watir code in it. def set_city(v) $ie.text_edit(:name, "city_str").set(v) end Watir implementation is encapusalted. The tests can be written by anyone who interacts with Domain Model objects. the watir code si written later. Is this something you have in mind? marekj On 7/12/07, Pallavi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi First all let me have the privilege of starting the very first discussion here at Google groups :). i am working with Crestech Software Systems and we are trying to build a keyword driven framework around Watir. I am trying to write a function to create an Object repository.. I need some feedback from the group memebers, any advices, experiences, suggestions regarding this issue are more then welcome and looking forward for some divine interventions.
