browser testing

[Mike Dewhirst]

Does anyone have any recommendations for testing via the browser?

I have heard Selenium mentioned and saw a feature contrast between
Selenium and Imacro which indicated Imacro is the best choice. Before I
do the right thing and dig into it myself, are there any war stories or
testimonials out there?

The objective is to help users to automate their acceptance testing and,
like unit tests, keep adding new tests as new features are delivered.

Thanks for any advice

Cheers

Mike

Everyone who wants into that space compares themselves to Selenium, because Selenium is that good and has that much market share. It's obnoxious to use, excludes some less technical users, but behaves very predictably in skilled hands and has plenty of community support.

If I needed to include less technically inclined testers, I'd pursue Kantu from https://a9t9.com/. I don't have any direct experience with iMacros, but out in the wild, I see more people asking how to migrate their iMacros scripts to Selenium than the other way around. This could be because of the difference in relative difficulty between the two. Selenium has a learning curve that makes it better suited to professional testers than, say, random client representatives doing UAT.

Some time ago I was in a small team of programmers and I thought it was unreasonable for everyone to learn Selenium, so I created django-selenium-clean, a front-end, which is much easier and with documentation that includes tutorial and reference.
