Tuyet,
Would you mind putting your analysis on our Wiki? I think that many people
will find it very interesting.
(By the way i used to work for Segue.)

I am wondering if anyone out there is in the process or has already
switched from Segue s SilkTest to WATIR.
Any feedback on how the process went or is going for you would be appreciated?
We have adopted Segue s SilkTest to automate our Web application a few
years ago, but we are not happy with how unreliable, hard to maintain, and
slow it has performed.
After the demo I gave this morning, we want to pursue investing more time
in WATIR.
So, first of all, thanks for all your help! You are a great community!
Any feedback on SilkTest to WATIR conversion is appreciated.
By the way here are some benchmark stats that are interesting to know.
We picked 2 scripts Import and Analysis/Positions and coded the exact
steps for both WATIR and SilkTest.
We ran the scripts about 15 times each in both WATIR and SilkTest and here
are the results:
Import script
Watir
SilkTest
Lines of Codes
60 lines of code
200+
Elapsed Time (average of 15 runs)
25 seconds
60 seconds
Reliability
No failure when ran 15 times in a row
87% with 15 runs
Maintainability
All changes are readily seen via View Source or getHTML command.
Compare files can be done and changes can easily be made.
Changes in B1 code require updates to the page declarations. This can take
between 10 and 30 minutes.
Analysis/Positions script
Watir
SilkTest
Lines of Codes
105 lines of code
250+
Elapsed Time (average of 15 runs)
52 seconds
120 seconds
