Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Web UI for adding test cases?

Collapse
Posted by Torben Brosten on
Selenium seems most appropriate for testing general Web UI behavior. For example, if there were a series of standard template forms generated that have an optional dependency on javascript or css. Selenium could run through the cases whenever changes were made to the OpenACS UI to verify nothing has broken, or the limits of the UI.

Allowing users to create tests can be useful:

1. when submitting a bug and having a test case that shows the example. Generated tests could then be added by the admin and/or bug fixer(s).

2. to reduce the load on qualified admins in creating tests. How valuable is this, though, if the user doesn't know what to test?
