Sorry I didn't answer this earlier - I've had great luck with Selenium and writing code directly. The problem that I ran into was that I couldn't get the IDE to work well on the pages. Maybe Peter can shed a little light on this with what he was describing earlier?

I've used a ton of record/playback models and very few of them work reliably - especially the open source ones. I am still working on getting together a webtest example for everyone to see so that we can compare the differences.

Cheers,
Tim

Tim,

You hinted at having some reservations about Selenium, could you explain in a bit more detail please? It would be good to go into something like
this with our eyes open!

Hi Andrew,


We use Selenium since six month to check there is no regression of
the
business logic of a project based on OFBiz (Neogia[1]) and we are
very
satisfied of this tool. Tests are easy to write and modify by hands,
and
they can be played in all browsers with javascript support.
Selenium-IDE helps us a lot to write initial test but we often need
to
tweak xpath expressions to be less sensible to html layout change.


The most difficult part is to write tests that are independent and
repeatable (particularly with cross-process tests like order and
shipment).


On the technical side, Selenium test runner has been embedded in a
webapp into testtool component [2] and is accessible from webtools
component (Functional Test Suites link [3]). Tests are stored in
each
component's webapps as html files [4].
We have two kinds of test suites :
- component's test suite : run all tests of a given component
- all-in-one test suite : run all tests
We run the latest one before each release.


I can submit a new version of this work under Apache License on JIRA
if
there is an interest.


Peter

Can someone say something about, er what was it again, oh yes,

Sorry to all about this, there has been some confusion related
to the
recent mailing list migration, including the fact that the
email
addresses on the mailing list pages (like http://mail-
archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ofbiz-dev/) are incorrect and we
are
still waiting for the ASF infra team to take care of this. This
is
also happening partially because most of the OFBiz PMC members
are
really slammed with contracts and other concerns right now
(which is
really weird because January is usually slow...).
