Hi there,

I am new to TestWise, and new to Watir. I would describe myself as
beginner/intermediate with Ruby.

I am using iTest2 to test a Java web app in order to identify some
bugs that users are experiencing, but which appear to be edge cases.

I want to pull a bunch of values from a MySQL database for use in my
tests. Basically, I want to submit a form over and over again using
values from the database and ensure that the confirmation page is
displayed correctly.

Does anybody have any code or tips for doing this? I know I can hack
my way through it, but thought I would look for inspiration/guidance
first.

Regards,
Evan
