This means that you will save time (and money) as basic technical accessibility issues can be caught automatically as part of your automated test procedure. text/html 2009-01-26T13:54:28+00:00 Peter Krantz http://www.peterkrantz.com/raakt/wiki/frameworks/watir Watir is a free, open-source functional testing tool for automating browser-based tests of web applications. It is pronounced “water”. Watir is a family of Ruby libraries. They support Internet Explorer on Windows, Firefox on Windows, Mac and Linux, Safari on Mac, Chrome on Windows. text/html 2008-12-01T10:29:36+00:00 Peter Krantz http://www.peterkrantz.com/raakt/wiki/tests The following tests are available in Raakt. These generate error message objects. Each error message has an id and a description text. See Error message ids for more information. * check_areas: Check area elements and make sure they have a non-empty alt attribute. * check_character_set: Verify that the charater set specified in HTTP headers match that specidied in the HTML meta element. This test will be skipped if you don’t pass a hash of http headers when setting up the test. * check… text/html 2008-09-14T13:01:32+00:00 Peter Krantz http://www.peterkrantz.com/raakt/wiki/examples/extending Extending Raakt (and other Ruby libraries) is easy! In this example we’ll add a HTML validation method that calls the W3C validator service. Please note that if you are planning to batch test a large number of pages, W3C will throttle your access to the validator. In this case you should install a local copy of the validator service first. text/html 2008-06-27T11:14:58+00:00 Peter Krantz http://www.peterkrantz.com/raakt/wiki/examples/commandline This script shows how Raakt can be used in a simple Ruby script to test a remote web page. First, make sure you have installed Raakt (follow the installation instructions if necessary). Then, install the WWW::Mechanize library (it will be used to fetch remote web pages) by opening a command prompt and type: text/html 2008-06-23T13:48:48+00:00 Peter Krantz http://www.peterkrantz.com/raakt/wiki/faq/faq I get an error when I test ASP.NET websites? If you get the “ran out of buffer space error” it is likely that the page you are testing has a huge viewstate. This will lead to a buffer space error in Hpricot which Raakt uses to build the document tree. In newer versions of Raakt, this is set to 256 Kb. If this isn’t enough you need to specify something larger for the Hpricot.buffer_size variable in raakt.rb. text/html 2008-01-26T12:57:23+00:00 Peter Krantz http://www.peterkrantz.com/raakt/wiki/examples/batchtest This example shows how Raakt can be used in a crawl script to check an entire site. It is based on Ruport, Raakt and SimpleCrawler.
