There is a tool called Selenium that allows you to record a series of clicks
around your website, and then play it back to simulate a user session. It
only works on localhost and in Firefox (it's a FF extension), but it's quite
useful in that environment.

Subject: [jQuery] Re: How can I test my javascript?
Flexible selectors should be the main solution. Specially the use of
ids, they are fast, and don't depend on dom hierarchy.
You can also intercept a key function in jquery, probably $.fn.find.
(function( $ ){
var find = $.find;
$.find = function( selector ){
var elems = find( selector );
if( elems.length == 0 )
alert( selector + ' yielded no matches' ); //or console.log or
any other warning.
return elems;
};
})( jQuery );
I don't advice this for production, it adds some overhead and may bug
a visitor. Could be useful for debugging.

jQuery selectors are fantastic, but any time I change the layout of my

works.
Are they any automated testing tools that I can use? Manual
regression tests are killing my productivity.
