This is very much an interesting problem to me. I've been encouraged to see if I might come up with a solution to testing GWT RemoteServiceServlets across a network. Although my team prefers the option of being able to use the UI as well, I'd like to get the backbone of a GWT application testable over a network first. I've noticed a few other people working on problems like this as well and unfortunately I cannot add very much to yours and others' pools of expertise on the matter of javascript execution or HTML parsing. The most formidable experience I have is more with SLAMD and tricks for teasing out html form elements there.
Being a performance tester by trade, my experience in the nuances and graces of UI testing and automation is somewhat lacking. In any case, I'll see what I can come up with in the department of testing the basics of business logic and perhaps post something here or on your HTMLUnit forums about it. > > Hi Ahmed: > > The reason I am trying to execute the RPC calls is so that in the > event of radical UI changes (EXT is an example) my team will still be > able to test the basic business logic.
