Are you an experienced RoR developer and do you now want to learn how to develop automated GUI tests with powerful scripting tools? Need to get your head around Web Application Testing in Ruby (WATIR)?

Everyone wants automation but organistations often struggle to define the most effective use of automation in each unique development environment.

At this 2-day workshop you'll learn how WATIR offers an Open Source, easy to maintain, alternative to more traditional (and often complex and expensive) enterprise test tools.
