Powerful automation tool for web browser - Watir
Watir is an open-source library for automating web browsers. It allows you to write tests that are easy to read and maintain.
Watir drives browsers the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms, presses buttons. Watir also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page.
Watir is a family of Ruby libraries. They support Internet Explorer on Windows, Firefox on Windows, Mac and Linux, Safari on Mac, Chrome on Windows and Flash testing with Firefox.
Why Watir?
- It’s a free Open Source tool. There are no costs to use the tool.
- There’s a very active and growing community behind it.
- It uses Ruby, a full-featured modern scripting language, rather than a proprietary vendorscript.
- It is powerful and easy to use.
- Don’t just take our word for it, read what our users are saying.
