Installing
  1. First download WET UI by going to :
    http://www.wet.qantom.org/download.html
  2. Then follow the installguide to install WET & prerequisites. If you are already using Watir, remember to choose the option to install wet without watir. The installguide is at
    http://www.wet.qantom.org/installguide.html
  3. Get the watir script assistant from:
    http://openqa.org/wet/downloads/watir_script_assistant
  4. Stop the WET RPC Tray Manager Application by clicking on the Wet tray icon, choosing 'Exit' and confirming the dialog box.
  5. Now run the watir_script_assistant setup file.
  6. _That's it. Your installation is complete_
Simple guide:
  1. To start just run Start -> Qantom -> WET -> Watir Assistant.
  2. To connect to any IE browser, say View->Sync with browser->"Browser that you want to sync to "
  3. From the treeview seen on the left hand pane, double click on any of the object. A script placeholder for that element is placed on the right hand side.
    _Enjoy!_
Configuring how objects are identified:
  1. It is possible to customize the attributes used to identify objects.
  2. In the <install_dir>\templates\obj_identification directory, there is a file called object_identification_watir.xml. Change the values in that xml file to change the way that the objects are identified.
    Tip: Make a backup of the original file.
  3. After finishing configuration, exit the rpc server and all WET / Watir instances and restart the RPC Server (or restart your machine).
  4. See http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WET/Customizing+show_objects+method for more info.
