Selenium: to 2.0 and Beyond!

Published November 30th, 2009 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

There’s a lot in common between Selenium and WebDriver. They’re both fantastic tools for automated testing of web apps, but they do their thing in radically different ways. As keen followers of the projects, you may have heard of the plan to merge these projects. What does this mean? And, perhaps more importantly, why should you care? We’ll explain how Selenium and WebDriver work, then look to the future and explain what Selenium 2.0 will be. We’ll tell you what we plan to do, how we plan to do it. We’ll do this by taking a Selenium1.0 script and migrate it into the future of 2.0. Wish us luck!

Selenium on Rails

Published July 24th, 2009 Under Agile | Leave a Comment

Have you heard the story of the poor code monkey? The one who had to prove to his boss that his web app actually worked? Are you the poor code monkey? See how Selenium on Rails can make it easier to take the pain out of view testing by writing and automating view tests in the browser, so you can spend more time coding and less time automating. Acceptance tests are a crucial part of the process of building business software as well as an important part of regression testing often ignored by developers because they are painful. They’re boring, fragile, and tedious. Using SOR you can quickly install Selenium and get it running on your Rails project.
