In one of our clients current projects, there is a module of scripts that require each script to log in as multiple user/roles to complete certain parts of the work flow. The application is also a little quirky. It has no log out button! So in order for our script to log out of one…
Read morePopulation of select lists are often linked to the values of other entries on a page. Here is an example where the first field (text field) entry is used to do a search which populates the second field (select list) on hitting ‘Enter’. Selection of an option from that list populates the third field (also…
Read moreThe web testing is not limited to just clicking few links and checking if the controls are working fine. In my job, we do a lot more than that. In one of the recent requirements I got on one of our projects, I had to setup an email notification based on an event. This blog…

Here is an example where the window contains several frames and one of the frames never gets beyond ready state ‘loading’. Watir‘s normal #attach method waits for the overall document to…

Read moreWhen doing automated testing, it’s common to run into a basic authentication window before you can access the application. WATIR can’t handle these authentication windows very well because it’s basically a modal popup with no associated DOM. That’s where AutoIT can be used to handle these authentication windows. You can use AutoIT to send basic…

Title = "message from webpage" IEText = ai.WinGetText(Title) puts IEText |
