One problem with webdriver (selenium 2) testing is that Firefox can pop up repeatedly when auto testing which can be really annoying. One work around is to use a virtual display. Rather than headless testing you can do something similar on a Linux system by using an X virtual framebuffer (Xvfb) [1]

I've used Selenium with Cucumber just enough to know that I want to try it more. I've segregated my tests into non-javascript cucumber features that run fast and javascript tests that run much slower. I run the fast tests with autotest as I develop features.

I have the MyEclipse debugger, but in practice, I don't use it often. I have used a variety of Javascript dev platforms over the years, starting with one that was bundled with ColdFusion Studio/Homesite, and have found that they seem to take more time and effort than they save. I do use Firebug in
