    Testing RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax with Watir – How easy it is

If you use the approach described in it and create a watir_telerik_extensions.rb file, you will be able to create tests very quickly.

Here is an example how to print the text of the specific node of RadTreeView and how to expand it: [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { IE ie = new IE("http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet/prometheus/TreeView/Examples/Programming/DataBinding/DefaultCS.aspx"); Element ulElement = ie.Element("UL", Find.ByClass("rtUL rtLines")); Element firstLiElement = ulElement.DomContainer.Element("LI", Find.ByIndex(1)); Span textSpanElement = (Span) firstLiElement.DomContainer.Div(Find.ByClass("rtTop")).DomContainer.Span(Find.ByClass("rtIn")); Console.WriteLine(textSpanElement.Text); Span plusSpanElement = (Span)textSpanElement.PreviousSibling; plusSpanElement.Click(); }   Yet another example how to click on a ...
