For me, WicketTester works best for low-level whitebox developer testing of individual components or interactions between a couple of components. I have experienced the abstraction leaking a bit (in 2.0) and being unable to test some things, such as some ajax functionality. (These I just test with Wicket Bench then, see below.) > At the end of the day a user receives html and javascript a point where it > should be invisible wether this has been generated by either Wicket or plain > vanilla Servlets.

As WebTest is based on HttpUnit / HtmlUnit, it suffers from their limitations, the greatest of which I think is the fact that it uses "non-browser" javascript implementation. The last time I used HttpUnit (jWebUnit really) a couple of years back, I just had to turn javascript off as it choked, though I have heard that it would have improved since then. jWebUnit is a nice higher-level abstraction layer on top of HttpUnit, but still doing everything with java as opposed to XML (WebTest). I find Selenium RC a lot more promising for this stuff http://svn.openqa.org/fisheye/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/selenium-rc/trunk/clients/java/src/test/java/com/thoughtworks/selenium/GoogleTest.java and with Wicket Bench (WicketBenchTestCase), you can use it to test-drive individual Wicket components against a real browser http://svn.laughingpanda.org/svn/wicket-bench/trunk/wicket-bench-test/src/test/java/test/DictionaryPanelTest.java This complements WicketTester nicely. With Selenium IDE, you can record Selenium RC java (or other language) code, which is good for the cases when you can't figure out what kind of Selenium code would emulate the user interaction you want. - Timo -- Timo Rantalaiho Reaktor Innovations Oy <URL: http://www.ri.fi/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
