Hi All, I have been into testing for about 6 years. My testing experience has mostly been into testing on unix platforms and C-Api testing. My current job is around testing of a website. Hence this is the first time I started looking out for automated test tools for website automation. This

Hi, All, This is Wesley, from ShanXi Xi'an China, I work for Active Network. I became a black-box tester about two years ago when I was graduated. Now I am still a black-box tester, sometimes the test is really repeated. Watir automation is interesting, it can kind of improve my work efficiency. I

I used to be a tester. Then I became Test Design, Test Analyst, Test Developer, Test Architect etc... now I am just a Test Investigator I think. More and more I see testing as a discipline of investigating where Value is created and were it is Diminished. I can do it with automation code or

George, that's interesting that you want to migrate more into development. The person who wrote most of our Watir scripts (and did a good job with the design, I think) was a Perl scripter before he came to us, and while he is still working as a tester / test automation guy, he wants to move back

Hi George, I'm a tester, I have learned enough Ruby to maintain and write new Watir scripts, and I know enough Java to sometimes be able to look at a traceback and figure out what the problem might be! It's a great question, I'm curious to know now too. Most Watir people I know have solid

I am a developer. We use rWebUnit (extension of Watir) and iTest2 IDE for our acceptance testing. We classified test scripts into two parts: * high level test cases: written (and reviewed) by Business Analysts Testers (who do not have programming skills) * web page classes and support

I'm a test developer, with a background in testing as well as development. Test scripts and automation testing should be run as development projects - scm, code reviews, ideally paired programming, branch cuts, working with the production code developers, running, creating and sharing tests.

Lisa, Thanks for your comments. You mentioned Java developers, I am a one (likes programming in Ruby better though). From personal experiences and observations, I found programmers tend to not to write as easy-to-read test scripts as testers because of programming habits. For example, Java
