Hi
I thought I will write about my experiences with Tellurium. I have been
using Tellurium for about a week now .
Our application is coded using Seam (JSF ) , Facelets and JQuery. We
initially were using RichFaces for Ajax and then replaced a lot of RichFaces
with Jquery
We initially had tests that were written in Ruby using the Selenium Ruby
Driver. The tests had the problem of being too brittle. We tried to convert
them to using XPath but the support for XPath in the selenium version that
we were using was too weak . A lot of standard XPath was breaking.
We moved to using Canoo Web Test with the tests in groovy. This had the
advantage of having programmers write tests easily . We had a bit of
struggle to get a TestRunner but we adopted the WebTest framework in Grails
for our tests. The tests were coded using XPath and were far less brittle .
But since we moved to JQuery a lot of functionality could not be tested
using the WebTest framework. The advantage of the WebTest Framework was the
incredibly good reports.
I have been using Tellurium for a week now and ported a lot of tests from
Web Test into this. Since a lot of tests were in groovy it was easy to move
them to this framework . Also this solved a problem of unable to test JQuery
functionality since we could get the browsers to work without too much
issue. My initial feedback has been it is a great framework. The only thing
I am missing from the Canoo framework is the reports. For example we have
a Redmine system which contained the Tests and descriptions and the test
cases in groovy used to pick them up using Atom and the Reports contained
the description. I tried to find ways of customizing the JUnit reports
but that does not seem to a thing that is easily accomplished
I have had some hitches in using the methodMissing which John reports
seems to be a groovy 1.5.7 problem and works with 1.6
Other than this my initial week's experience of using this framework has
been positive and I look forward to using this more.
Thanks for the great work and hopefully will be able to contribute to this
too as we go forward
Regards
Hari
