[wtr-general] Re: watir or selenium
Hello, Raveendran. I got confused by the last sentence in your blog You can also express Selenium tests in a programming language, taking advantage of language- specific drivers that communicate in Selenese to the browser bot.. What did you mean by that exactly? I mean, why cannot you express Watir tests in a programming language? Aren't you programming Watir tests in Ruby - so in a programming language? Or are you not considering Ruby as a programming language? :P Jarmo On Oct 28, 6:16 am, Raveendran P jazzezr...@gmail.com wrote: Hi E, This link will highlight some imp points --http://bit.ly/1dtC2w thanks On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Gossler Erika gossler.er...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I'm searching any info of comparing Watir and Selenium.

Sorry to answer as the question as it is not directed to all I believe what Raveendran means is that with Selenium you can code in your own fav programming language whether its java, perl, ruby, c# etc etc . For each their is a driver available which interacts with selenium RC. But watir works with Ruby where as there are other flavours of watir also available known as watij for java, watIN for .net and the blog was a nice representation of the available feature test. nice job Raveendran. Its a good discussion, being a user of open source tools for a long time now.. even i am not sure which one is better over other.. but some insights are helpful to judge what works for you the best... -- Pallavi.

my idea is collection of library of Selenium is worst than watir. but Selenium support for multi -browser is better. and it have some another package for using many OS On May 1, 2:51 pm, venky venkatesh...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I had worked with watir.

[wtr-general] Re: Watir vs Selenium
I've worked with Selenium the past two years. It's an excellent tool. For one thing, support for multiple browsers is excellent because the way Selenium goes about manipulating pages is consistent from browser to browser. Watir is rapidly achieving support for multiple browsers, but it is using different mechanisms to manipulate each browser. I recently found an instance where Watir was far better than Selenium. I had a need to analyze a web site that contained a lot of poorly-formed HTML. Selenium would not recognize the pages at all, but Watir worked quite well. At one time Watir was somewhat easier to learn, although I think Selenium (especially with Selenium-RC) has been catching up. Traditionally Selenium appealed more to developers new to testing and Watir more to testers new to development, but I think that distinction is disappearing. So I'd say: try them both, build a few dozen assertions about the behavior of your particular site with each, and see which is more comfortable.

Hi Khaja, Bret wrote a great article about the differences, and why he's contributed to both: http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2005_02.html#000229 I personally prefer Watir as it requires no server side components. This is a big deal for me as I have had to run automated tests in many environments including production where it is not sensible to include server side components for testing.
