Automated Web Application Testing System

Question

What is a good web application testing environment that I can use for a fairly large JavaEE based application?

I am currently using Canoo Webtest, but we run into problems with jQuery. I tried updating htmlunit to the current version, but this causes even more weird errors.

I look at what other automated web testing framework is there.

- Thanks

Answer 1

I have had great success working with Selenium . Works well in IE / Firefox, etc. Tests can be recorded through plugins or in several languages. Personally, my tests were written in Java / JUnit, but the support there is also for others.

Answer 2

I would recommend WebDriver , it is in the selenium namespace, and I believe that it will be transferred to selenium.

I find the API more pleasant, and the proxy server is not required for installation, which becomes painful for proper configuration when working with multiple sites and https.

Answer 3

Others noted that Selenium and WebDriver are good candidates, especially for developers.

Actually, I often used StoryTest IQ (STIQ), mashup of Selenium and Fitnesse.

iMacros is another good option (I appreciate how easy it is to share macros with your peers).

Answer 4

Have you tried selenium? You can write tests either with your firefox capture plugin or with Selenium RC, which allows you to run tests like in java / C # and run them in problems like nuint (and, I think, junit).
