I think selenium and the built in test suite have different goals in some respects. Outside of CakeWebTestCase there is very little support for browser-esque testing. The focus of the core test suite is on functional and unit testing of objects and not on web testing. I think you almost need to use both selenium and a unit test suite to get full end to end test coverage.
Sure WebTestCase can do many of the things Selenium does, but I feel that Selenium is a better and easier to use tool for web testing. -Mark On Nov 27, 5:35 am, Abhimanyu Grover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Bakers, > > From quite a few days, Selenium IDE is seducing me as its a huge time > saver in writing tests.
