Re: [Wtr-general] What are people using for 'test executive'?
We use Mercury Quality Center as test management tool and WinRunner for executing the tests. Obviously this is all well integrated. We now want to switch from WinRunner to Watir, but still be able to run the tests from Quality Center. I know this is possible with the custom test type of QC, but I'm confused about how to do this exactly. Does anyone have any experience with this or can point me in the right direction?

Re: [Wtr-general] What are people using for 'test executive'?
We use FitNesse from www.fitnesse.org to store and execute our tests. Its basically a wiki to store tests. The tests are expessed in form of tables. We dropped Watir in favour of Selenium and use Java instead of ruby to write the adapter/fixture between selenium and FitNesse. But FitNesse has a ruby testrunner too.

Re: [Wtr-general] What are people using for 'test executive'?
There is sadly no test executive at this time. We use Window's Scheduled Task tool to set up tests, and we just try and keep track of the results, mostly by email when something critical happens. I'm positive also that existing commercial tools are being used by others as we are using them - We use Mercury Quality Center, since we bought it, to schedule our ruby tests as well as our Quick Test Pro tests, but even that is just an interface for Windows Scheduled Tasks tool. So I don't think there is anything. But really just set up some good logging or use Watir's built in logging, set up IIS if you want to send emails when critical failures happen or any failures for that matter, but you might be spammed, so maybe think twice about that. I can help you get the email thing going too if you want. We just implemented a threshold mechanism for when we see error pages on our site (which can happen often due to high traffic and database timeouts). Otherwise a group I'm associated with is beginning to write an open source enterprise Ruby Rails interface for launching Watir scripts remotely but we've only begun and it may take up to a year before we have anything solid.

I think as Watir becomes more mature and accepted tools like this will be so very important. Personally I went the roll your own method, though if there was an open source base to build off I would have used that in a second. If i ever get some free time I'm going to attempt to write a custom harness for google.com. I think a working end to end custom harness would be a great way to get discussion going on a number of subjects. now I'm just rambling! Good luck on that project :) - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=6009messageID=16862#16862 ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] What are people using for 'test executive'?
Ive been struggling with this type of thing too. At the upcoming awta conference Im going to demo an app that Ive wriiten for one of my clients that does most of this. Im struggling with the concept of it though - I think I would rather just write ruby code. But I can appreciate why others in the group ( project managers etc ) would want to see results in some simple format. Im thinking of writing something similar as an open source project, but Im very time constrained at the moment. What Im finding is a bigger problem, but may be addressed by something like the tool I mention, is how to deal with the vast quantities of data that we use in our tests, and the relationships between the different data items. If there is enough interest maybe we should start a new rubyforge project to deal with it, rather than use this list.

A tool comes to mind: http://www.codesourcery.com/qmtest/ I don't know if it's appropriate for Ruby/WATiR.
