I was at yesterday’s MyOSS meetup, and the topic was on the Selenium Web Testing Framework<\/a>, presented by Yuen-Chi Lian. Here are some notes, and hopefully the slides and code make it up to the website soon.<\/p>\n

– Java guy, who is a MyJUG guy
– Employed by CustomWare Asia Pacific, and is experienced in JIRA, Confluence, and Mule (are they an Atlassian reseller?)
– He started web development using PHP. Didn’t do unit tests then. As he started to do web development again, 2 years ago, he found that JIRA guys used Selenium to test their web UI. He started Selenium, last week :)
– A Common Web Development flow: analysis, design, development, then its testing… Unit test, integration tests, and acceptance tests using Selenium
– for web UI testing, Selenium helps you invoke a JavaScript method, rather than clicking a button to trigger it… These tests can be recorded and scripted. You can do it in a simulated browser environment, or use a real user agent
– He hasn’t tested Sahi yet, but he thinks its better than Selenium, based on the blogs that he’s read
– Selenium can be integrated with Continuous Integration (CI)
– Lots of examples using Java and Ruby
– Imagine doing FOSS development, on the Windows platform. It actually looks scary…<\/p>\n

Overall, a rather basic talk, with a highly motivated\/dedicated speaker. This being my second talk that I’ve attended on Selenium (last year at the Ruby Conf<\/a>), and now, its pretty cemented in my head that I’ve got to make use of it, the next time I write a web-front end. Oh, it has great Firefox integration, with the Web Developer Tools plugin…<\/p>\n

After that, it was off to Pelita for dinner. This ended up becoming supper, and there was lots of chatter… Drive home was eventful – on the way to Puchong, to send KageSenshi back, got pulled over twice – once for a license inspection, once to find out where we were headed. Odd. This has never happened before.<\/p>\n
