[wtr-general] Re: Is Watir being used by your developers?
Unfortunately, the only way to involve developers, in my personal opinion is to have ATDD as an extension to TDD. A very good reference is http://specificationbyexample.com/ book.

@George, In my last job Watir was used a lot. The developers on the GUI preferred to use java-based webdriver. In my current job, I was using a Ruby/Mechanize class file that some developers used because they could interact with it (in IRB). If you think they won't embrace it, you should find out why. If your goal is to propogate your own solution, you may be unsuccessful. If you goal is to solve their problems, you can do that by being flexible. Good luck, Dave -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Not yet, but I think they're going to try too. I'm training our QA on watir and invited the developers as optional participants. A couple of them saw it as a good way to write unit tests to test client side (jquery, ajax, javascript) code that won't be covered by their unitest framework. It's a small team (only 4 developers) though. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
