When you are starting out, it would help if it can tell you the syntax errors before actually running the script. There is a free web automation software called Newbie, http://www.mynewbie.net, that does the same thing. It automates IE using Pascal scripts and comes with an Editor, IDE, debugger and compiler. They are working on a plugin to Firefox using jssh. The problem with Watir is that you will have to learn it’s language, there is no compiler, IDE or syntax checker.

It has more features and much more reliable than Watir. SWEA supports frames (cross domain), windows and html dialogs, AJAX pages, file downloads, page capturing to image and more. The SWEA test recorder generates NUnit tests. There is also SWExplorerAutomation (SWEA) (http://webunittesting.com).

There exist many such tools for this type of automated testing but this one is the first open source tool I have come across...
