Hi Deepu! This should probably be a new thread rather than a question added to an existing thread.
That being said, Watir is a library for interacting with web applications, it doesn't care where you get the data you're using for driving you tests. Getting data from another source (Excel, database, etc) is handled with other Ruby libraries. I've had a lot of success using David Mullet's 'Ruby on Windows' blog for advice on interacting with Windows applications. http://rubyonwindows.blogspot.com/ Hope this helps! -Tiffany On Nov 14, 10:14 am, Deepu V nair <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am pretty new to Watir and have few doubts. > > 1.
