[textile]From "the selenium home page":http://selenium.thoughtworks.com/index.html
Selenium is a testing tool for browser-based testing of web applications. It can be used both for functional and compatability testing. Selenium tests run directly in supported browsers, just as real users do.""Bret Pettichord's post, announcing Selenium":http://www.io.com/~wazmo/blog/archives/2004_10.html#000224 hints at other new and exciting developments from "ThoughtWorks":http://www.thoughtworks.com in the near future. (Thanks for the heads-up Bret!) Driven by HTML based test-definition tables, similarly to FIT/FitNesse, it provides simple keyword driven interactions with the web-application front-end by loading the application via an iFrame in the target browser. Selenium can also be integrated into CruiseControl for continuous integration. I am looking forward to both trying this out for myself and seeing how this develops and moves forward...
