These model updates and/or ajax functionality cause a lot of problems for WicketTester in our experience. I think that you just need to make your tests more static, e.g. one test to see that the onEvent handler is called and then another one where you set the model of the first DropDownChoice beforehand. Often you have more success in the tests if you can init the models in the state to test already before firing up WicketTester. With SeleniumTestCase of Wicket Bench you can test individual components with Selenium on Firefox to complement WicketTester, which is an approach we used with success on our previous project that was on Java 5 (required by Wicket Bench). There's practically nothing that you couldn't test in Wicket like that, our ui code line coverage was well over 90 % in that project. (It's a pity that WicketTester has so many bugs or shortcomings; if I ever find the spare moment I'll try to understand how it works to be able to do better bug reports on it or even patches. Any help for getting into it is welcome!)
