- Watir
- Watir is IE only
- although there is a FireWatir project, it is out of sync and not able to easily share tests from Watir itself
- Watir scripts are written in Ruby
- for Java, Watij
- for .NET (C#), Watin
- Watir is IE only
- Selenium (OpenQa.org)
- Scripts are JavaScript-based
- Scripts can be subject to hanging (especially with popups) although "click and wait" has been a sufficient workaround for some.
- Selenium does have a script recorder.
- And of course my favorite quote: "Having a good recorder decreases the success rate of your tool." -Bret
- The Selenium IDE can generate scripts in multiple formats: XML, JavaScript, etc..
