WebAii and FitNesse

Well now I am getting seriously worried.  After I got so far with automated UI testing with WebAii and NUnit I thought I was finished as the Automation Master on my team and could get on with some interesting work.  Oh no while I was down with a heavy dose of Man Flu the team decided to use FitNesse for defining acceptance tests and they want me to integrate this with the WebAii tests.  I guess their argument that I was the one with most experience of test automation so I will be up and running quicker is valid, but it worries me that I am doing so much testing and only a little programming.

 

If you are not familiar with it FitNesse is basically a Wiki that supports defining acceptance tests as tables of inputs and outputs and links to a test runner to execute the tests.  That is a bit of an over simplification but it will do for now.

 

It didn’t take long to get FitNesse setup so I started looking at how we could use it in conjunction with WebAii.  That took a while longer I figured out a way to do it and managed to port some of my existing code over to get a first test running.

 

So now my series on Silverlight Testing with WebAii will be at least one episode longer as I will include an extra one on how to get this done.
