From my experience (I tried TinyMCE on MediaWiki ;), would it not be easier to compare the code a visual editor produces with the result of the preview mode? I assume it could easier be done by comparing the DOM branches, using QUnit or Selenium instead of images.

I thought more about testing skin layout, e.g. divs not being rendered in the right place in some browsers. For complex interactions, I'd still prefer Selenium or other "non-optical" tools. -- Markus (mglaser) On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 7:30 AM, Markus Glaser <gla...@hallowelt.biz> wrote: > Hi, > > while I don't like the idea of introducing more and more testing > tools, I can still see an interesting use case here: as of now, we > have no way to test whether a given layout (HTML, JS, CSS) is really > rendered the way we want it to be, since both Selenium and QUnit make > their tests based on DOM, right?
