Comment(by mpatel):
So far, this looks great! I'm still reading through the
[http://seleniumhq.org/docs/05_selenium_rc.html Selenium-RC
documentation], but I think I can review this ticket formally tomorrow.
At the risk of asking too soon: Can we specify the particular browser to
test in `run_tests()`? Another potentially useful option, at least for
Firefox: Use, e.g., `firefox -P selenium-test -remote "openURL($*, new-
tab)"`, to open multiple tabs instead of windows. I'll investigate.
Aside: It's nice that both [http://seleniumhq.org/ Selenium] and
[http://funkload.nuxeo.org/ FunkLoad] are build on Python's
[http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html unittest framework]. Of
course, !FunkLoad only simulates a browser, but I think we can attain
approximate parity between the notebook's functional (i.e., with Selenium)
and load (i.e., with !FunkLoad) tests. Selenium's advantage is that it
tests real-world browsers, but even with [http://selenium-
grid.seleniumhq.org/ Selenium-Grid], we'd have difficulty (I think)
simulating thousands of simultaneous notebook users.
