Zach did a great job last night showing us how the Selenium IDE and Core work along with examples.  We’ve uploaded the Selenium test suite he’s created, you can grab it out of SVN.  If you’d like to run it from the web, load up the web TestRunner and use tests/restaurant_reviews/suite.html for the test suite location; remember that only the Globals and Verify test will work due to cross-domain restrictions in the browser.

Thanks to Zach for his hard work on the presentation and to Sebastian, Frank, Darryl, Chris, and Sarah for coming out.  We were able to chose the December meeting topic last night, so look out for another post soon.

See you next month!

We’ve published the EventBrite page for November, so if you think you’ll be able to join us for a beer and some code at Charlie and Jake’s this Thursday, 11/20, @ 7:00 PM, please RSVP.

In preparation for this Thursday’s meeting, we’ve also updated the site a bit.  We’ve added the subdomain http://apps.itsrandom.info which contains the restaurant review application from our August meeting.  We’ve also updated the restaurant service to work via JSONP and updated the code base for the client and service in our SVN repository.  In this Thursday’s meeting we’ll be working with Selenium and this application to show examples of integration testing in web applications.

Hope you can join us!

This month we will be talking about “Integration Testing Web Apps using Selenium“. We will be looking at how to use Selenium to automating testing, build a test suite, and simplify testing with multiple browsers. We will be using the code from our first meeting.

To follow along on your own laptop you will need, FireFox, Selenium IDE, our code,  FireBug (not needed but really helps), and any other browsers you want to test in.

See you on the 20th.

Last month we met at Java Surf and we received a couple of concerns about the WiFi having a cost and only lasting 60 minutes a pop as well as no food being available at the venue itself.  I recently swung by Charlie and Jake’s in Suntree and saw that they now have free WiFi available.  I spoke with the manager and he’s said that they can set aside the outside seating for our meeting if we’d like.  Unless anyone has any objections, I’m going to move the November 20th meeting to this location.  Charlie and Jake’s has some great food and handcrafted beers, so let’s see how it goes.

See y’all there!
