Hi guys, I recently tried using RSpec to test a Java application, and just wrote a tutorial on this topic describing my experiences: http://patshaughnessy.net/2009/6/25/taming-the-beast-using-jruby-and-rspec-to-test-a-j2ee-application
I definitely see a lot of value in using Ruby to test other languages; it seems to me that the Ruby community has done the most innovation recently on testing, and why not use the best tools to test your app, regardless of what it is? Thanks for the link to the Cucumber wiki page... that was going to be my next step! - pat On Jun 30, 5:27 am, Denis <[email protected]> wrote: > Jim, this is a mere educated guess, but you may try experimenting with > Cucumber test framework, run inside JRuby > seehttp://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/jruby-and-java > > I think this will be at least a bit more convenient for a Java app. > > Best regards, > Denis > > On Jun 29, 8:30 pm, Jim Knowlton <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I have a question...right now I work at a place where we have > > implemented an automated test framework in Ruby-Watir-RSpec.
