Selenium for Web Testing - an OpenSource option

Do you want to do some automated Web testing, but you don't want to have to spend a lot of money on one of the commercial test automation suites? Consider Selenium (http://seleniumhq.org/). Selenium IDE permits you to create, modify and run tests as a Firefox plug-in. It is a great way to learn the tool and work on basic tests. The tests are based on HTML tables, so you can use any editor to create or edit the test suites and test scripts as well. I like Eclipse with the Aptana editors. This also facilitates integrating with our subversion version control system.Need to run that set of test suites regularly? Or on another platform/browser? Try Selenium RC. You can create command files/shell scripts to run a set of suites.
