FireWatir 1.2.1 is released

A new version of FireWatir has been released. This includes some fixes related to Firefox 3 but more importantly, it marks the merger of FireWatir and Watir projects, allowing for tighter coupling of methods and functionality between the two, allowing you to write less code =)

To use FireWatir, you will have to install a Firefox plugin that enables use of a JavaScript Shell (jssh). FireWatir works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Install FireWatir: [sudo] gem install FireWatir
Install Plugin: http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/FireWatir

I will be using FireWatir on my mac for impromptu testing, since more recently I’ve found it beneficial to write automated test cases to provide consistent input when recording load test scenarios in JMeter or LoadRunner. For those interested in even more x-browser support, check out SafariWatir as well: http://safariwatir.rubyforge.org/
