#User guide for schnell

Introduction

This may be a non detailed user guide for schnell. I will strive to make it better as the days follow.

The installation and setup instructions are available in Installation page of the wiki.

Typical usage of schnell

   # include the controller 
   require 'schnell' 
   include Schnell
   # create an instance of the controller 
   browser = Browser.new 
   # set the proxy server if you have one
   browser.set_proxy(proxy_host,proxy_port)   
   # go to the page you want to test 
   browser.goto('http://testserver/') 
   # to enter text into a text field - assuming the field is named 'username' 
   browser.text_field(:name, 'username').set('Matz') 
   # set text field that has an id of 'company_ID' to 'Ruby Conf' 
   browser.text_field(:id ,'company_ID').set('Ruby Conf') 
   # to click a button that has a caption of 'Cancel' 
   browser.button(:value, 'Cancel').click

The elements and identifiers supported now are a bit limited. But support for more are on the way :). Your contribution is also welcomed.
