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 fo

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 ce

Will,       I used WET for a months (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

[Wtr-general] WATIR Extension Toolkit (WET)

2006-11-07 Thread Soula, William
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 http://www.wet.

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? ---

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 V

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,
