Any equivalence for real browser testing?

Ruby
1

I am writing a s/w testing framework using ruby, it needs to be fast.
The amount taking by a browser to start, then shift control to another
component and closing is really slow, I was thinking, is there any
equivalent fast way to do the same with the same level of confidence, I
mean same level of trust/test. As i have heard/studied that the real
browser testing is must, it gives the real testing environment. please
suggest some faster way, but I dont want to negotiate in the quality of
testing as browser gives.

One more thing I would like to know, closing a browser and again
starting it for a new test is faster or using the same browser for next
test is wise? in terms of times consumption.

I am using require “watir-webdriver”.

Hey dude,

I don’t mean to sound like an ass, but if you’re writing the framework
it seems like benchmarking these things yourself should be the best way
to answer your questions.

:slight_smile: same here, great but what if I want to use people experience.

I need to decide first if it is possible or not. then I can start if its
possible… thanks…
