Thanks a lot for your help and time. My team is working on an agile methodology, as you know the main idea for this methodology is the "change", we're working...
Hi Matt, This is an excellent question. I used to be more of a fan of automated regression testing at the end-to-end, system level, but over the years I've ...
Hi, I agree with Lisa that the best approach is to test as much as possible at the lowest level possible. When system testing you shouldn't be worrying about...

Hi all, Yesterday an issue raised about Rspec, FitNesse and Watir; if we are using Watir to test a web application then what's the need of Rspec or FitNesee ...
... Watir is "thru the GUI". That means tests are slow to write, slow to run, and clumsy to change. A test case should never run more than a couple hops away...
Hi Philp ... True, but if we implement story or scenario driven development then these tests lead development. A change in the tests means a change in ...

I don't really agree that all those tools have the same purpose. Watir is a driver. As others have pointed out, it drives a web app through the GUI. (So does...

One of the ways to deal with such situations maybe as follows- Models can be used to automate testing to a certain extent. You may use Class models annotated...

Hi Lisa, I have also found that testing at the API level is much more maintainable. It even fosters declarative style tests. The organization I am currently at...
