Watir - An Automated Testing Tool for Web Applications

Hi to All,

I like to share you a best testing tool for all web developers for their web applications. It is platform independent tool, you can test your application which was created with any programming language like PHP, RoR, J2EE, Dot Net, etc.,

Steps to Install and work with watir.

1. Download ruby and follow the installation instructions.

2. gem update --system.

3. gem install watir ( recent version of watir will automatically get install )

Note This gem will test the application with IE browser as default. If you want to check with FireFox browser then you should install "firewatir" and for chrome browser "chromewatir".

supporting gems will automatically get install, perhaps one of the significant gem to co-ordinate with windows api, you should install a gem called "windows-pr" i.e gem install windows-pr

This windows-pr gem will resolve the following error:
Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/windows-pr-0.9.3/lib/windows/thread.rb:59: uninitialized constant Windows::API::Error (NameError)

Get start to work by follow the watir tutorial

Hope this will help some one or mine too!

Get Start/Switch your projects with Ruby On Rails

For this past few years i missed to read an wonderful article about the succession of Ruby on Rails. This article explains us "How Ruby on Rails succeeded and intention to Create this?" Dont ever miss any one to read this article. Just click the below link and start to work with Ruby on Rails.

For each and every programmers or technicians or business development managers, this article should read and need to get know about Ruby On Rails(ROR).

Especially in India, so much of them didnt even know about this framework and language. Some bigger companies are not yet started to accomodate this simple framework( rails ) with the base powerful language (ruby). They should come over and start to work on this technology. Its the only language now the direct competitor for Java in the whole world. In Denmark, it almost 90% of programmers using this framework.


It Benefits a lot. In Brief,

-> Reduce the number of hours to develop a application.
-> Reduce the number of developers involved to create a application.
-> Reduce the stress, energy to create the applications by the developers.
-> Easy to learn the framework.
-> More compatible with all platforms.
-> Easy to implement the Agile methods.

Finally, Last but not Least, its everthing "OPEN SOURCE". Get think over the above advantages and start / switch your projects with Ruby On Rails.

Happy coding and will see you in another information.
