Question

Here is the scenario:

1. Login to a web application with username and password and hit Enter (Start timer)
2. Load the login page (lap timer split, to mark the time for page load )
3. Click on a another page (split the lap timer)
4. Stop the stop watch

Answer 1

Any method call in Watir returns how long it takes, so this is a trivial task.

For example,

b.text_field(:id, 'uid').set username
b.text_field(:id, 'pwd').set password
time1 = b.button(:id, 'logon').click
time2 = b.button(:id,  'movepage').click
puts "Time One: #{time1} Time Two: #{time2} Total Time: #{time1+time2}"
