1. If I select Watir-Webdriver, can also use the same test script with Watir. I do understand that there will be limitations. But will it require a huge change in the commands that access page elements, doing some actions etc. We will be using multiple browsers along with it different versions. Answer: Yes, but you will need to account for the differences between Watir and Watir-WebDriver. The majority of methods are supported on either, but some do differ, or only exist in one or the other. For a script to run with either put them inside "if" statements so that the correct block of code, (specific to one or the other), is executed based on which one is being used. 2. Our Dev env's are user/password based while Test is certificate based. Is it really possible to use some tools like "autoit" to navigate through certificate list and select one. Answer: On Windows is should, but you might look into using the Rautomation gem instead, as it is now installed with Watir 1.9.2 or later, and AutoIt is no longer part of Watir, but can still be accessed with Rautomation) 4. Is it possible to make use of developer's machine to perform distributed execution without interfering their work routine?. Answer: Probably not. Watir / FireWatir and even Watir-WebDriver will open a web browser window. The Developer will probably be annoyed by a browser opening an running. You can run "headless" but as has been pointed out on this froum in the past, you are then not testing against either IE or Firefox, but against the "headless browser". Sorry can't help you on your other questions with definite answers. Joe -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
