Hi guys, I've recently been tinkering with distributed testing across a grid network with Watir. This work is currently hosted on GitHub at http://github.com/90kts/watirgrid
I based my initial design off DWatir[1] which uses Rinda to implement a tuple space: a repository of tuples that can be accessed concurrently. I've tried unsuccessfully to contact the original author Dane Avilla, which looks like development stopped in 2007. Since starting the GitHub project I've noticed a similar solution, not using Rinda (UDP broadcast over druby protocol) but WebBrick (http protocol) instead. It's also called WatirGrid[2] (oops!) and the author looks to be Peter Houghton. My end state is to facilitate some form of load testing with watir, using many browsers concurrently. I plan to release it as a separate gem. My preference so far is to continue with the druby protocol. Questions to you are do you have any preference on choice of protocol (druby vs. http) and does anyone know the original authors so that I might get in contact with them?
