Hi Bret
Is it very beneficial if we integrate watir with SAFS ?
I have two concerns with SAFS.
i) It seems to be slower (compared to watir) when executing the scripts.
Suppose if we integrate, can we maintain the same speed of execution ?
ii)The data files (input files) are the text files.Its tedious for user to enter the test files.
If the input is from xls/csv its better.
So, my question is cant, we develop that type of framework only with watir/ruby and not dependant on any other framework.
Thanks

It is fairly difficult to develop testing frameworks in the scripting languages used by many testing tools. This is one of the reasons why SAFS was developed. I believe it was developed in VB or C or C++ and then made available via DLL and COM API's.
Ruby is a great language for developing frameworks. Arguably better than VB or C or C++. Many people have developed data-driven testing frameworks in Ruby for Watir.
I can see two reasons for directly using SAFS with Watir.
1. You like the way SAFS is structured.
2. You already have a lot of tests already in SAFS, but want to now execute them with Watir.
It doesn't sound like either of these is true for you.
