Mosquito: A Visual Web Testing Tool, Like Watir, But For OS X?

By Peter Cooper / January 26, 2007

Mosquito

Mosquito is a new, automatable, testing tool that uses RubyCocoa and OS X to perform Web operations and take screenshots of each point along the way. It's a little like the Windows-only Watir. I can see the technology used by Mosquito also being useful for automating Web operations even without the testing focus.
