Hello, You are right that having "unit" and "selenium" folders in tests does not quite fit.
However, "acceptance" I don't find appropriate, either. IMHO, Selenium actually is a framework for system testing (as it evaluates the system functionalities from a user perspective). So, how about having a folder "system"?

Remember Selenium is a framework for doing acceptance testing, not unit testing. I don't quite see the purpose of specifying the framework name in our directory structure. Are we planning on using more than one unit or acceptance testing framework? My 2 cents. - Trevor On 8/5/10 3:55 PM, Chad wrote: > On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 6:47 PM, Mark A.
