Testing the Web... Without the Man

Testing as you may or may not know is something that most developers value greatly.  Well good developers value greatly.  Testers are responsible for software quality.  Which means if things don't work, it ain't your responsibility because it's the tester who's accountable! (Well if you're a developer).

The problem with testing is that normally for the web: testers are hard to come by.  Monkeys with a mouse are hard to come by, let alone train to be reliable.  Which is why automated testing is so interesting.

There are a lot of expensive automated tools out there, like LoadRunner and so, but I thought it was time to have a look at Firefox to see what add-ins there are.

Molybdenum is one.  And it's pretty good.  Check it out...

Update: And Selenium is another.  It has better marketing with prettier pictures but does essentially the same thing.
