That actually makes a lot of sense for storing data. I misunderstood
what I was reading, it sounded like people were driving their run-time
behavior out of excel.
I guess on that note its pretty safe to assume most people kind of
Hard-Code their test procedure into the logic of the program and
then use excel files to just provide data?

In our tests we just read data from these excel spreadsheets then we
use that data to drive our testcases. There is file out there called
xls.rb, that reads from an excel spreadsheet. we use this library to
do all of our reading.

If you're looking at an Excel driven framework, then I'd suggest taking a
look at Rasta:http://rubyforge.org/projects/rasta/ I've not used it, but
it's certainly best of class for working with Excel and Watir.

Hey,
I'm a Java/C++ programmer and a Ruby noob and I'm getting ready
to build a testing application that would use Watir to test a set of
web applications. As there are about 6 applications with similar
interfaces but different behavior I'd like to recycle as much code as
possible. The system I have designed winds up reading from a file and
creating a set of objects that represent use cases which, when
executed, go through the motions of clicking, setting and so on. I've
noticed there are a few posts here and there that discuss reading test
instructions from excel and that caught my eye. The questions I have
are what is in these excel files, is it some sort of domain language
or it is code that is run at runtime? Is there a tutorial?
