A Smattering of Selenium #16

I’m going to start posting the Smattering posts here on the main Selenium blog, hopefully each Monday. For past ones see my personal blog’s archive

• Style Tests using Selenium and Robotframework – With those simple steps we are able to do regression testing on our user interfaces that have strict standards
• Export Selenium IDE scripts for Grails – A plugin which does exactly what the announcement says.
• Selenium XML Formatter – Hurray for plugins!
• TestApi – a library of Test APIs – Seems like it might be useful for people working in .NET land
• BlueDuck Selenium Remote Control – The folks at BlueDuck have packaged a release of Selenium RC with an installer and GUI for controlling options
• Selenium and Hippo CMS – Its not a plugin — locators are next on the pluginification list — but if you are using Hippo CMS and want to use Selenium with it, this custom locator makes the integration easier.
• Checking for JavaScript Errors with Selenium – This is the coolest trick I have seen in quite a while!
• FlexMonkium, Gorilla Logic’s bridge between Selenium and their FlexMonkey product is now available in beta. Yup, its partly a plugin for Se-IDE. (Oh, and their press release has a quote which I think is the first time that has happened…)
• Not to be outdone, Sauce Labs have announced support for Flex and Flash as well. Care to guess how it is implemented? A plugin…
• Working with Joomla? You could recycle their Test Case Methods to automate some of your tasks. Creating product DSL-like helper wrapper things is exactly the right path to take.
• Pyrite – Easy peasy in-browser testing with Selenium (in Ruby)
• Using Sauce Labs OnDemand and Hudson? The is now a plugin for that.
• Lebowski is The test automation framework for SproutCore applications and uses Se at its core.
• Running Selenium Tests on Sauce Labs describes, well, how run Se test in On Demand (in Java).
