This ruby construct object ||= otherobject is equivalent to object = object || otherobject and similar to i += 1 meaning i = i + 1 in watir example: @browser ||= Watir::Browser.new means @browser = @browser || Watir::Browser.new a narrative could be: let the @browser be @browser if true else start new browser and initialize @browser value from constructor.
