Excellent screencast for "Selenium on Rails"

Check this out. Jonas Bengtsson has released a new screencast showing how to integrate Ruby and Selenium for browser-based acceptance testing. Bonuses include use of the Selenium IDE, Ruby test authoring, and automation of both IE and Firefox (on Windows, granted, but it’ll be cross-platform shortly, I have a feeling).

Very cool.

Selenium for Rails, finally?

Posted by rick Mon, 06 Feb 2006 15:11:00 GMT

Jon Tirsen pointed out that there’s what appears to be a full-featured Selenium on Rails plugin now available. We’ve been eyeing Selenium to help us with automating browser tests and acceptance tests, but have been sort of waiting for the dust to settle to see which approach at Rails integration is going to be the best. This plugin wasn’t even on our radar, but it looks really promising.

UPDATE: Speaking of not on our radar—there’s also a new Selenium IDE that’s a Firefox extension for (among other things) writing Selenium tests. Crazy.
