Canoo WebTest releases version 2.5 Download at http://webtest.canoo.com
Dear all, the Canoo WebTest team is pleased to announce the release of version 2.5 of our beloved open-source web application testing tool. Version 2.5 leverages the new AJAX testing capabilities of HtmlUnit 1.11 that Canoo WebTest is built on. These capabilities allow testing of dynamic web applications and have been proven to work with popular AJAX frameworks like DWR and Web 2.0 applications like Google Maps in WebTest's typical effective manner. WebTest users now have new steps available to work with the application under test such as verifying radio buttons, working with different web clients in parallel, and switching between windows. A particularly interesting new capability is to use the 'repeat' step with an XPath expression to loop over all elements that match this expression. Speaking about XPath: inside WebTest you can even define your own XPath function in Groovy and use it inside any XPath in your test specification! Groovy-1.0, the latest final version of Groovy, ships with WebTest. With Groovy you can extend and customize your WebTests in any possible way and enjoy the merits of dynamic scripting support when the situation calls for it. The team has been eager to keep up the quality at the widely esteemed level of 98.5% test coverage. The documentation now comes with an extra sidebar for quick navigation around the available steps. Test reporting - one of the distinctive strengths of Canoo WebTest - has been improved even more and allows in-place viewing of server responses and browsing them like a motion picture. A big THANK YOU to the whole team and particularly to our technical lead Marc Guillemot for all the effort that everyone has put into this open-source endeavor.
