Web/HTTP Testing
Hello,
I am looking for a user test automation tool. When I say ''user'', I
mean it should mimic the user interacting with the app. That
ultimately boils down to a tool that drives a browser or is able to
make http requests and allow us to deal easily with the responses.
Our requirements are to be able to write the tests in Ruby (no need to
switch to other language for test

Concerns over Rails' handling of tests
Sorry if this comes across as a bunch of disjointed thoughts...I''m just
trying to put my thoughts down and I''d like to know what other people''s
opinions on the subject are.
I''ve been working with Rails for 3 or 4 months now and I''m constantly trying
to look at ways of improving my testing techniques, especially when it comes
to TDD. I have a few

UI testing framework? (w/o selenium)
Hey all,
I am currently working on coming up w/ an easy to use, developer-centric web
testing framework to test a J2EE app with. (I have 3 rails apps in
production, love rspec, and am currently at a java shop).
I''ve looked at selenium, and it just doesn''t seem like it is ready for prime
time, and the target audience is developers. So, having said that, does

Selenium/Watir usage along side Webrat in story testing
This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story
testing.
MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through
frameworks like Selenium/Watir.
But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape
somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development.
Now I have a choice:
1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat)
2. Use

spec_ui problems
While looking into spec_ui, I decided to run the examples.
The watir example works a little, but always chokes on the ''better
than fudge'' spec (failure output below). Also, is there any command
to pause the "browser"? If my connection slows, the test gets out of
whack.
The selenium example fails right away (output below). I do have the

RSpec 0.9.4
RSpec 0.9.4 has just been released. Gems haven''t rsync''ed around the
globe yet, so you might have to wait a few hours to install it.
The big news this time is Spec::Ui 0.2.0, which has been released
along with RSpec core. This RSpec extension gives you custom Watir
matchers (custom Selenium-RC matchers are not implemented yet).
Moreover, it comes with a custom KICK ASS formatter

domain language?
RSpeckers:
I went with RSpec instead of Systir because I downloaded and installed
the former first.
(I know that''s not exactly a ringing endorsement! ;-)
I want to compete with FIT and Fitnesse, like this:

Rspec Stories / Selenium Nightmare
I have been using Rspec stories with Webrat feeling very productive and
happy.
Then I needed to do something with Selenium (Webrat could have done what
I needed but it does not yet have the functionality).
Selenium-core as part of a rails plugin looked nice but did not seem to
fit with rspec stories. So I went the Selenium-rc route.
Since Selenium uses a separate instance of rails

Selenium on Rails plugin
One of the things I like about Rails is the built-in support for testing
? it?s almost hard not to write tests. But even if I write extensive
tests (currently ?Code to Test Ratio: 1:3.4? according to rake stats in
a small toy project) I still feel that it?s not enough. I occasionally
get the urge to fire up the browser and click around to test that
everything works. You shouldn?t have to

Default exclude pattern in 0.9.0
The "rspec" rake task collects all _spec files in the spec directory,
and excludes the "watir" directory.
Is this indicating a preference for using Watir over Selenium? I would
like it better to standardize on something more neutral, ''ui'' perhaps?

rspec-ui overlap with cucumber?
Hi!
I''m using cucumber + selenium and I love it. However I''m looking to
add some methods (example: click_and_wait etc) to the lib. Therefore
looked around a bit and I got two questions:
Firstly about rspec-ui, I''m a little confused, does rspec-ui overlap
with its propose with webrat with cucumber or I''m missing a point?
Secondly, are there any plans to

Webrat 0.1.0 released - Ruby Acceptance Testing for Web applications
Hey guys,
We developed this plugin while writing my first real set of RSpec
stories. It''s still missing a lot of functionality, but it''s useful to
us as is, so I''m shipping 0.1.0. (Patches welcome. :) )
Code is available at: http://svn.eastmedia.net/public/plugins/webrat/
What do you think?

Integration Testing - Wait, Watir, or Selenium
I''m evaluating what to use for integration testing:
SafariWatir
- integrates nicely with RSpec
- doesn''t work with Ajax because of Safari event firing issues
Selenium
- Works with Ajax
- doesn''t integrate with RSpec
What is the best guess timeframe for RSpec integration testing?
Will it be able to test Ajax application in the early iterations?
Thanks,

Testing for cross site scripting, etc.
Being new to testing and ruby, are there "standard" tests that can be
done that test for things like cross site scripting and friends?
If not, anyone have ideas on what I might do about testing those sorts
of things?
I''ll be using rails, also.

Is there a hook or a method to execute some code after a whole feature

stories with selenium and the db
Hi all
Tonight I wanted to test out selenium in a story to test some ajax
stuff on a page.
After struggling for an hour or two with disappearing database objects
I found the solution in a blog post by Kerry Buckley.
with the comment included it reads:

I want RSpec for CSS layout.
I don''t even know how it''d be possible (through Selenium?), but I want it.
I want to see if my stupid CSS hacks break. I want to say:
describe "#nav-column" do
body = something("#body-column")
it "should line up at the top" do
dom[:top].should_be == body.dom[:top]
end
it "should always be to the right" do

Functionnal testing : Watir vs Selenium
Hello, I wonder if some of you have evaluated these two solutions and
how they compares each other.
What did you liked or disliked ?
And may be are you aware of others functionnal testing tools usable with
and integrated with Ruby ?
Thanks
