Watir Features:

Please go through my previous post named as Watir.Some basic points are there.

Now I come to the point, How watir helps to Tester for write automation scripts in Ruby language.

Ya it’s simple. Watir helps ..

1. Automatically write in text box –> text box name or value or id Important(WET is used to identify the filed names.)

2. Automatically click buttons.

3. select list boxes,and so on…

4. How can i know about field names, values, and id.

WET - Web Environment Testing.

It is also a gem file just install it

c:\gem install wet

and run this program. Change URL www.google.com to Your Own page(Need View page)

Program:

5. Watir can have easily understandable codings. Not need to any previous programming skills. Fresher also easily pick up this scripting language.

My position in Watir:

I have done some scripts in Watir.

1. RFSearch Engine :

* If you want to search some thing in Net. But u dont have time to spent click and view all the things. You want only all the links with their URL.

* If you want to know about status of your site in google search engine. It will shows which page your site is placed in google search?

* Its depending upon Google search engine. it will works IE,Firefox(firewatir). Now i am working with Safariwatir.

2. Automatic Yahoo mail checking and Composing:

* It ask Your uaer name and password and as well as how many mails u want to see in your inbox after(Ask after visit your home page)

* If you want to read 10 mails then it will goes to automatically open that mails. Here I am using last come first serve method.So you read the latest mail in very first.

* Mail composing –> It ask To, Subject, Body contents…. and click automatically send button.

* Attachment also working with compose a mail.

I think this post is very useful to all new comers working with watir.
