Re: [Wtr-general] QuickTest Pro vs Watir?

2006-11-07 Thread Nathan
I am an experienced scripter in both Mercury QTP and Watir, and I'd have to say that they are very comparable in functionality. At this time niether QTP nor Watir have the ability to do a whole lot easily with Firefox or other browsers, and QTP will never support Safari or linux based systems,

Thank you, I.ve tried this and it works with test cases, but how about when someone wants to use the test cases into a test suite and wants them to be exequted sequentially? For example if we have a couple of test cases that are subclasses of Watir::TestCase and we want them to be executed in a

excellent point. The way feature requests are handled, the ability to extend the functionality of watir yourself and no longer fighting with a test tool vendor's support are the main advantages of watir over mercury in my opinion. and after all you can play with the nice ruby language instead of

Thanks for the great input. I have a more specific question though. How is the support of (well written) QTP steps down the road? Watir/Ruby scripts (if well designed) seem to be very easy to support. Is that also the case with QTP?

Hi, this has been discussed but the solutions don't work for me. The story: I want to test an application that uses JS-Alerts to communicate errors. I found a code snippet that should solve this, but instead I get always this exception: WIN32OLERuntimeError: hwnd OLE error code:80004005 in

I discovered this toolkit for WATIR which appears like it can solve some of WATIR's problems like clicking modal dialogs and automatically logging. Has anyone used this toolkit before? Anyone have any ideas on if it is a good toolkit or not? Thanks, the link to WET is here

Will, I used WET for amonths (also for the modal dialogs). However, it was only compatible with Watir 1.4 if I recall correctly, and some of the other features of Watir 1.5 were more important to me, so I switched back. Since, I have had no problem using Watir to handle anything WET could

This is great theory, but Paul is correct in stating that sometimes it is impractical. I have worked on sites with server-side code that was far too complex to be tested in that manner. It would simply be impossible to test them as "stateless" or "stored-state". You traversed the sites in a

If you pick up the development WET release, it also supports Watir 1.5. The best way to get this development release is by installing the Watir DOM SPY. Instructions available at: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WET/Installing+the+Watir+Script+Assistant Note : There is a bug in the installer
