WET (Watir Extension Toolkit) is an extension toolkit to the popular Watir web testing framework. It drives an IE Browser directly and so the automated testing done is equivalent to how a user would drive the web pages. The tool allows you to perform all the operations required for testing web applications - like automatically clicking a link, entering text in a textfield, clicking a button etc. You may also perform various checks as a part of the testing process by using Checkpoints.
WET sits on top of Watir, an automated test tool which uses the Ruby scripting language. Ruby is an object oriented programming language started more than a decade ago in Japan (by Yukihiro Matsumoto). WET retains all the features that Watir has and adds many usability related functionality like Datatable support, Object repository and Inbuilt Html reporting
Getting Started
WET needs Ruby, therefore both must be accessed. Ruby can be reached at the RubyForge 1 Click Installer page. The current stable version is 1.8.4-20 stable. Using the "1 click installer", the file downloaded will be ruby184-20.exe. After downloading Ruby, install it by running the 1 click instaler and following instructions.
WET also needs the Microsoft Dot net framework. If you dont have the dot net framework installed, please get the latest one from the MS site.
Finally WET itself has to be downloaded. To download the latest version of WET, you need to access the downloads page which is at WET downloads page. Download WET and install it by running the one click installer.
