Review on Watir by Wayne Moody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy and quick way for website/page automated

It is easy to use, it works well in all browsers (even IE), you can easily automate web pages using watir-webdriver & webelement methods. The API documentation could be better but I have not found any other issues so far. If your application requires automation of websites that are not compatible or supported by Selenium WebDriver then this tool will help you achieve what was impossible before. Automation testing has become much easier now thanks to selenium web driver which gives us more control over our applications than ever before.
