Learn how to write browser-based automated functional tests in
this hands-on tutorial. We’ll show you how to use the
Watir
testing tool and the Ruby
language to create tests that drive a web
application. By the end of the tutorial, you’ll have created a test suite
using an open-source tool popular with agile teams. Bring a Windows laptop with W2K, XP, Vista
(shudder) or even a Mac with Parallels.
We’ll provide the software.
You will be pairing, so even
if you don’t have a suitable laptop, come anyway and pair with someone
who does. The hands-on exercises use Internet Explorer. We will also demonstrate
how to use FireWatir,
a version of Watir for Firefox.
Participants should already know how to program in a computer language,
although no prior knowledge of Watir or Ruby is assumed.
