That's basically what we do with Selenium, except that we test the integration of the features in the wiki, not the atomic behaviors of the components. There isn't really an alternative to launching a browser for testing our JS components, since most if not all of them heavily rely on a DOM, so just a JS runtime will not be enough. We could envisage a JS unit-testing system like this : - Write tests in .js files, using JSUnit or any other unit testing JS framework (http://ejohn.org/blog/which-unit-testing-framework/) - Slurp the tests in a XAR using a maven plugin - Execute the tests inside XE, using Selenium wdyt ?
