Watir stands for “Web Application Testing in Ruby”. It is pronounced water. Watir is a simple ruby based open-source library for automating web browsers. It drives browsers the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms and presses buttons. Watir also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page. Watir works with Internet Explorer on Windows and is currently being ported to support Firefox and Safari.
Watir is completely ruby based. Like other programming languages, Ruby gives you the power to connect to databases, read input data files, export XML and structure your code into reusable libraries. Unlike other programing languages, Ruby is concise and often a joy to read.
Many thanks to community behind Watir and Ruby.
