John,
On another
thread you mentioned that
testing Web Services is much easier than testing web interfaces, which I took to mean web pages. Even if that's wrong, I'm wondering what tools you'd recommend for testing a web page. Not things like 'does it look nice', but do the right error messages appear when the user tries to log in with no password.
I wrote Spock specifications to drive Selenium 2 code and exercised a several page web-based wizard. It wasn't difficult, and let me test all the pathways whenever a change was made to the underlying code. Since I was looking for the contents of specifically named divs, it wasn't fragile either.
Do you have much experience with this kind of testing, or some suggestions for better tools or approaches?
Thanks,
Burk
