Hi "nodje",

+) WebTest uses HtmlUnit

+) the M2 Plugin basically wraps the Ant invocation into a Maven plugin
to integrate it neatly into a M2 build - and it has nothing to do with
TestNG/JUnit

+) Canoo WebTest originally was driven by Ant scripts (including the
possibility to run Groovy scripts from there) whereas the Groovy-WebTest
integration was added much later. So you have three different ways to
run webtests: Ant, M2, Groovy

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl
