Re: [Wtr-general] Using Watir/Ruby scripts

For example people have been using Perl rather than Bash for system admin for years.
Traditionally people using Bash have use a lot of other languages such as sed and awk to do their work.
 
the main advantages of using a langauge like Perl or Ruby are:
 
* portability over operating systems (if you know how to write then to be so)
* access to modules for doing any kind of things directly within the language.

It detepends what you want to do regression testing on.

Hi
 
I hear that many companies uses shell scripts(using bourne shell or any other ...) in the testing cycle.
So, my question is can we use watir/ruby scripts instead of these.
 
 

Thanks
