The scripts will run on a set of servers, using Selenium RC. Selenium
RC will run a browser on the server, and emulate a user doing actions.
It will return pass or fail on the conditions of your test.
For example, here is a php script that goes to the main page of
enwiki, types test into the search box, hits enter, then verifies that
the title is "Test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". This test will
return as a pass.
<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';
class Example extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
function setUp()
{
$this->setBrowser("*chrome");
$this->setBrowserUrl("http://en.wikipedia.org";);
}
function testMyTestCase()
{
$this->open("/wiki/Main_Page");
$this->type("searchInput", "test");
$this->click("searchGoButton");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->assertEquals("Test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia",
$this->getTitle());
}
}
?>
