A new member in the Watir-family

Watir (pronounced water, and an acronym for "Web Application Testing in Ruby") is a toolkit used for automating interactions with web browsers.

OperaWatir is new to the existing family of Watir testing toolkits, and brings automated testing to any device.

Combined with a behavior-driven testing framework such as RSpec, you can drive actual browsers to test your web applications, emulating user behavior and ensuring that your entire stack works well for end users.

To install OperaWatir:

% jruby -S gem install operawatir

To see all the commands:

% operawatir --help

How we use Watir at Opera

At Opera Software, we use Watir not only to test web applications, but also for testing the browser itself.

We have about 1,200 automated renderer tests that run on each new build of the Opera web browser
