A step-by-step guide (with video) to create a test project for a Selenium+RSpec test script in TestWise IDE.

This is a repost of my daughter's article (with permission). I added some notes.

Zhimin: during test automation consulting, I found software professionals (engineers or managers) often thought that developing automated UI tests is a time-consuming task. When I completed one automated test for a key business scenario quickly (usually in minutes), they were shocked how naturual or easy it was.

After using the correct framework, e.g. Selenium + RSpec for web and Appium + RSpec for Desktop/Mobile, and using the right tool, TestWise, you will see creating automated tests is a trival task and get to know the real challenge is ongoing-maintenance. Once getting this realization, you will appreicate the right framework (e.g. Selenium), the right scripting language (e.g. Ruby), and tools (e.g. TestWise & BuildWise) more and more.

Courtney, My daugther, started writing raw Selenium WebDriver tests at the age of 12. This article is a recap how she learned and acomplished on her Day 1 of learning web test automation.
