This message may be of interest to anyone using Rally http://www.rallydev.com to manage their agile process.
I met on 1/20 with three folks from Rally: CTO Ryan Martens, Zach Nies (VP of Product Development) and Bob Cotton (http://awta.wikispaces.com/ Bob+Cotton) to talk about Watir and Rally. They would like to see all agile teams using their product, so the more testing tools that have hooks into Rally, the better is for them. But they do not have any test tool integration plans on their own development road map this year. They would be very happy if someone were to create a "connector" (see http://www.rallydev.com/products/integrations/) to Rally for the Watir framework, probably using the Rally Integrations Toolkit for Ruby (which "jump-starts developer productivity and efficiency through a set of Ruby tools that easily interact with the data in your Rally subscription via the REST Web Services API"). They see the test flow as authoring (in Rally) -> execution (in Watir) -> results reporting (back to Rally). They also talked about wanting to see a "rich Cucumber authoring environment" (essentially an IDE) in Rally, but they don't have any plans to create that yet. They are excited about Cucumber as a way to express tests. I asked why; their answer: the tests expressed in Cucumber act as documentation of features and tests that can be easily understood by business owners. This is just an aside since many of you know the new Watir framework includes support for Cucumber. We don't have enough bandwidth inside WatirCraft to work on any of this anytime soon. I don't know if there is anyone out there in Watir- world who might be interested in leading a Watir-Rally integration effort (or open sourcing one you've already done), but thought I'd throw it out there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
