Hi Robert,

I read your XOWiki page and saw your entry about selenium recorder.

Please have a look on my post here
https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=365992

I would be happy to volunteer to create selenium tests for acceptance/feature testing.

Cool!

I just found about the extension today from Dave via IRC conversation actually ... your suggestions sound great!

So if we are thinking about FEATURE testing for example, which for the most part is little more than user interface testing of a particular package, I would imagine that what we would then end up with is the following workflow:

FEATURE TESTING:

1. Adopt a package or group of packages for testing.
2. Develop selenium test scripts.
3. Post test scripts links on the package pages (I believe the wiki has the ability to link to uploaded files, I will talk to Dave about this).
4. Use scripts as repeatable test cases on each bug fix iteration.

Would that be how you see this working?

Almost forgot ...

... added you to the volunteers paragraph.

Your now doomed forever!!!

... Hehe!

Thanks for volunteering. The first batch of testing will be just to get a quick pass/fail on automated testing of packages, then giving the testing process idea a quick run through to see how it goes.

Once we have a bit of experience doing that we can start working on this with a bit more focus.
