  • 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
  • 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..
