Hi, HtmlUnit engine is mature and only require a new release when a bug is found (test case + patch are welcome) or when there is a new release of HtmlUnit (in fact it is not required as long as HtmlUnit API do not change as users can override HtmlUnit dependency).
Selenium engine is not completed. I did my best to implement JWebUnit interface with Selenium. The purpose is to allow people to use JWebUnit API but switch from HtmlUnit to Selenium in order to take advantage of real browser testing. AFAIR there was 80% of tests passing. Remaining 20% are complicated/impossible to implement without breaking JWebUnit API. The reason is that JWebUnit exposes some functionalities that are tighly coupled with HtmlUnit. For example, here are some topics that are not working : - support of JavaScript alerts/confirm/prompt - support of advanced request/response interactions (getting HTTP status code, changing headers/cookies, redirect, ...) Selenium 1 was a direct concurrent of JWebUnit (a simple API to deal with test automation). 2 years ago if you had asked me I would have said JWebUnit would slowly die in favor of Selenium. Selenium 2/WebDriver is advertised as a low level common API to drive Web Browsers [1]. IMHO Selenium 2/WebDriver is at the same level/purpose than the ITestingEngine. That's why I now think JWebUnit is still a valuable tool to add advanced functionalities/glue on top of Selenium 2 API.
