But once you get past the point of the basics, you will really want some kind of framework within which to run your tests. This can make it easier to run groups of tests, or a specific test, and also deal with issues like reporting results, and making it easier to automate the running of the test automation There are a number of good choices, but offhand I'd say two of the more popular ones are rspec and cucumber. There are good books on both frameworks from Pragmatic Programmers, but neither specifically addresses using the frameworks with watir.. (still, I'd recommend reading the one that is applicable if you choose one of those as a framework) There was a good training session held last year at the Test Automation Bazaar on using Cucumber, Watir, and the Page-Objects gem, you can find a recording of it via this page. https://github.com/watir/watir-bazaar/wiki/Test-Automation-Workshop-2012 apologies for the quality of the recording, you can blame that on me. Other good starting resources are: 1) the Watir-Book See the readme on this page https://github.com/watir/watirbook for more info 2) Jeff "Cheesy" Morgan's Cucumber and Cheese book https://leanpub.com/cucumber_and_cheese -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
