was watir.com
A functional testing tool for automating browser-based tests of web applications. It drives the Internet Explorer browser the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms, presses buttons. It also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page.
I did some simple website testing with it.
- aka Web Application Testing in Ruby.

Abandoned – 2024-04-22 – No website updates in a while, and the domain is down.
