Abstract
Students in this tutorial learned how to write automated customer tests for a web-based application. They used an open-source tool kit to create tests that drive a web browser. Most completed a suite of multiple tests by the conclusion of the tutorial. This hands-on tutorial used open-source software installed on student-provided laptops. Students learned to write these tests using the Ruby scripting language and the Web Testing with Ruby toolkit, available at http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr/. A timeclock application was used as the target of the tests.
