Yes, I agree Selenium does not fit with unit tests and is the higher level of tests as UI is the higher level of code. From my experience running
tests from this level helps also to detect bugs at a lower levels, notably regressions.
I spoke about unit tests only because I wanted to say that some prefer to use TestNG with Selenium, this to see if nobody had an opinion or/and use
Selenium for their own projects. About TestNG, I actually believe you can do the same with JUnit 4.
I must say I never used Selenium with either JUnit or TestNG. Only as a simple user creating tests for myself. That was long ago and it then saved me
a lot of time...

Hi Jacques,
Selenium tests cannot be unit tests in OFBiz because it requires firing up
the server. You can consider them part of the integration tests (existing
functionality). In fact, I would consider selenium tests to be functional
tests (higher than integration) ->
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_testing
So yeah we can add them, but I don't think we can do that to the raw
unit-tests (at least in the context discussed in the other proposal thread)

Hi,
With the considerable HW effort, a lot of things are going on recently,
and it's hard to follow. I though noticed that we experience more and more
regressions (not all related to HW effort, far from it).
Fortunately it's so far mostly minor points and often related with the UI,
OFBIZ-7346 and OFBIZ-7363 being counter examples (OFBIZ-7346 can be
critical)
From my experience, w/o a QA person or team, it's very hard to detect
those side effects at the UI level when you refactor or fix it. I remember
the (ex) Neogia team (mostly Erwan) tried to maintain a Selenium/Webdriver
set of tests. I don't know if they continue/d.
Since we spoke about Junit and unit tests recently, some prefer TestNG, at
least coupled with Selenium http://testng.org/doc/selenium.html
Does it make sense, do you think it's only an utopia?
Thanks
Jacques
