Two New Testing/Automation Tools
Thursday 24 April 2008 - Filed under Code
I found both these over the weekend and they both look really interesting:
Cubic – from the same folks that make Selenium
CubicTest is a graphical Eclipse plug-in for writing Selenium and Watir tests. It makes web tests faster and easier to write, and provides abstractions to make tests more robust and reusable.
CoScripter – IBM(?)
CoScripter is a system for recording, automating, and sharing processes performed in a web browser such as printing photos online, requesting a vacation hold for postal mail, or checking flight arrival times. Instructions for processes are recorded and stored in easy-to-read text here on the CoScripter web site, so anyone can make use of them.

Checking out Cubic, looks pretty cool. Thanks for posting about it!

@Marc – I installed Cubic this afternoon but didn’t have time to tinker with it – hopefully will find some time tomorrow!

Jim,
We recently started using Watir. Look forward to your review.

A similar tool is iMacros: http://www.iopus.com/imacros/firefox/
What’s most impressive about iMacros is how easy it is to use. After using this product for about two months now, I am still excited about what the is product is able to do and am finding more uses for it both at work and outside of work.

@Matt – very interesting – iMacros indicates it will also script through Flex and Flash. For $500 that’s a deal!

Quick update – I installed Cubic Friday and today I’m having a lot of slow downs / lockups with CFEclipse. Not sure if it’s related but it’s the last thing I installed…
