Hi,

This is not a question for a single problem but rather a opening of a
discussion.
I have been working with Canoo Webtest for a half of a year now. Everything
has worked quite well and these automated tests have been a great help. The
only bigger problem is that Webtest don't seem to be very stable. What I
mean is that the results that Webtest change sometimes even if nothing has
changed in the web page I test. 
Sometimes Webtest loses cookies used for logging, sometimes it gives strange
JS errors and next time I rune the same test it passes, sometimes it gives
error for not founding a certain web page even if resulting page shows
correct page etc. 
We use Bamboo to run tests in certain times every day and for some reason
this seems to make things harder. Bamboo makes tests run a bit slower so
chance of missing logging cookie is bigger and for some reason those strange
JS errors (
http://old.nabble.com/A-strange-Java-Script-error-to29894316.html this  for
example) occur more often. 
This is quite annoying since I can't rely that once I make test pass it will
pass every time I run it. It also takes my time to go trough reports and
look if there is real errors or something that Webtest just gives without
anything being broken.
We have a lot of JS and AJAX etc. "advanced" things in our web page. I don't
know if that makes those errors appear or what. Does anyone else have same
kind of things or is it just me?
