WatiN、Wax、WatiN Test Recorder开源自动化测试框架

出自http://www.cnblogs.com/oscarxie/

最近有点时间，觉得可以研究下自动化测试框架了，其实现成的框架已经有很多，比较有名的是Watir和Selenium,还有从05年开始的基于.net的WatiN,鉴于自己接触多的是.net方面的，所以先选择WatiN来研究。

研究之前，要做的准备工作就是收集相关的资料，列下来，之后做个To Do List排个计划来逐一阅读和实践。

Welcome at the WatiN (pronounced as What-in) website. Inspired by Watir development of WatiN started in December 2005 to make a similar kind of Web Application Testing possible for the .Net languages. Since then WatiN has grown into an easy to use, feature rich and stable framework. WatiN is developed in C# and aims to bring you an easy way to automate tests with Internet Explorer.
