Hi BJ, sorry for the late response, but i was not at home yesterday. :-). That was more or less a POC. I tried to create a showcase to test standard Application Screens (i.e. a standard ecommerce module). Therefore i created the unit tests with the selenium firefox plugin, modifyed the tests for my purposes and used them in a little selfmade testing framework. That was very simple. It reads test data (i.e user data, orders which should be placed ...) from an excel file (Apache POI), creates a list with the neded data and called the tests class with the unit tests, from this point selenium did all the work, run the test and give me a result. That's it. Maybe a little bit uncommon but as i said it was a POC for a certain use case :-)
But at the end of the day a think there is a lot of stuff / test cases which can be handled by selenium, but i also noticed that it is a lot of work creating all the tests... Hope you get an idea what i was trying to do.
