Watij + Fitnesse = Witnesse? (or Fatij?)

18Jan07

I played around a little bit with Watir (Web Application Testing in Ruby) at my last job, but we never had a chance to really utilize it beyond some basic proof-of-concept type scripts. Now at my current job I’ve been working with Watij (Web Application Testing in Java), which shares the same principles as Watir, but the tests are written in Java instead of Ruby. After working with some Watij tests, my co-workers and I thought to ourselves, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could drive Watij with a spreadsheet or something, so we wouldn’t have to keep writing code to create additional tests?” Enter Fitnesse.

Fitnesse is an intersting Wiki-based “acceptance testing framework”. The short explanation is that you can write basic acceptance tests in a table format (using Wiki-style syntax), and integrate the tests with “fixtures” to invoke your application code. I’m sure the Fitnesse site offers a better explanation than mine, so feel free to meander on over there.

Now to the interesting part, where my story actually comes together to form a point! I wrote a basic test fixture in Java that calls Watij to test a website through Internet Explorer. The cool part is that with a basic set of methods in the Watij Fixture, say 5 or 6, you can write a limitless number of tests in easily readable Wiki format. Like a so:

| The User Navigates To | www.google.com |

This little Wiki fragment tells Fitnesse to call the method “theUserNavigatesTo”; which will create a new Internet Explorer window, open the URL “www.google.com”, and return a test pass if it succeeds or a test fail if it doesn’t. The possibilites are endless, since as soon as you find a new test that isn’t supported by an existing method, you just add a new one to the test fixture!

Cool eh?
