Review on Watir by Dana Mahendra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A solid automation tool with lots more functionality

I really like watir as it has helped me automate my tests in many cases. It took me a while to get used to the syntax but once you figure it out it's great! There is nothing that i dislike about this plugin so far. Sometimes I feel that there aren't enough features that are provided by watir. For example, there isn't any way of adding new tabs or windows which can be solved using multiple watir objects. Also there is no support for css selectors which can be solved using selenium. It would be nice if there was an option to have 2 different sessions at once when using watir. Automate our test cases across our QA team and reduce time wasted on manual testing.
