Thx for your help. Can I use it in Eclipse or is it only working in  firefox?

I have found also found this test method: FEST Swing Module . Do you know this one?

You might also want to check out JSFUnit.

Never heard of the FEST Swing Module...

With Selenium you can record actions in Firefox (only advised for starting and for most simple tests). Those test scenarios can be saved in html format (so it's in somewhat readable form). Or you can convert those test scenarios to a number of programming languages such as java (junit format), c#, ruby, etc.
Once you convert it to junit you can do whatever you want with it. Since it uses real browser for testing (which is slower than many other test frameworks such as WebUnit) you can configure which browser to run (I think it supports at least IE, Firefox and Opera).

Selenium seems ok, but it needs many tweaking. For example
-it force you to set explicite id's of objects (if you don't do that, they changes every start of application)
-suggestboxes sometimes end conversation,
-selenium doesn't see clicking of a:commandLink
-i don't know how to reference buttons in table - i can't set id's because it could lead to duplicates id's, without id i can't make click action

Anyway it works - does anybody use it in production environment?

You could also try:

• Watir wtr.rubyforce.org - which is a Ruby interface to IE, very rich API and has been around a while.


• Watij watij.sf.net - same idea as watir, but the language is java (API is a bit limiting though).


• Canoo webtest: Webtest.canoo.com - write tests using xml (wrapper around htmlunit).


• Htmlunit.sf.net - Plain Java html/http testing framework (JavaScript support is provided by rhino, so not as good as a real browser).

Actually, I expect you messed up your message, the forum isn't actually malicious...

Did you bother to look at the preview before clicking save?

Selenium does not force you to use id's. You can also use link text or a path to the html element like this:

selenium.click("//td[2]/a/img")

An it's might be actually a good idea to assign ID's to important elements of your layout.
