What problems are you trying to recognize using this procedure? That is, what is this procedure testing, and what are its oracles?

While that's nice and is using stuff I hadn't thought of, it still doesn't answer the question. Assume now that I ALREADY have the .xls file open. Remember, it was the file whose macro generated the ruby code that's running. Of course, the ruby code is calling functions from other static ruby files... but all the variables are put in place by the excel sheet. Tester fills data out on sheet Tester hits "Go" button Excel sheet reads data from the column the tester's in into ruby code Excel sheet saves and executes ruby code Watir runs tests on a web page using data it reads from other spreadsheets maintained remotely Web page saves its results to a SQL Server table Ruby shuts down Tester hits "Results" button on Excel sheet Excel sheet reads results from SQL Server table into spreadsheet. My idea is to get Ruby/Watir to write those results directly from the table to the OPEN spreadsheet, saving the tester the extra step of hitting the "Results" button. (Am I coddling the testers too much here?) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=5687&messageID=15915#15915 _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
