Hi, It's true that jWebUnit API is not easier than Selenium-RC API (except some very usefull assertions). But one of it's main advantage is to be compatible with different testing engines. Once your tests are written with jWebUnit, they could be executed thanks to HtmlUnit on your integration server each night. And for example, before each delivery, you could run them with Selenium to check compatibility with your customer's web browser.

Hi, I understand that Selenium by design requires a full-fledged browser, but isn't that also one of its greatest features? By running your tests using FF or IE, you can be sure they do work in their target environment, regardless of browser bugs. So yes, the htmlunit approach makes testing easier to integrate with CI, but it doesn't give you the same results. This may be acceptable for many simple testcases though. I just looked over the jWebUnit 2.x website very quickly, so I may be missing something. But how is test case writing with jWebUnit easier than using Selenium's IDE or DSL syntax? Cheers, -Ralph.
