> "Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run  
> directly in a browser, just as real users do. And they run in  
> Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and  
> Macintosh. No other test tool covers such a wide array of platforms. "

> Furthermore, Selenium can be integrated with CruiseControl (see  
> http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SEL/Integrating+Selenium+And 
> +CruiseControl.Net for the .net version, couldn't find the Java  
> version).  So imagine this scenario:
>
> 1) developer checks code into svn / cvs repository
> 2) repository triggers codebase deploy to cruise control server
> 3) cruise control kicks up selenium-based web tests and runs them  
> on all browsers
> 4) results are emailed back to the developers
>
> I'd be happy to give a short intro to Selenium IDE at the next LUG  
> if I can make it.
