Fwd: How to automatically test Django apps

[rush]

 

According to http://heliumhq.com/files/helium_license.txt it is not.

Furthermore it is not free. According to their price page you have to pay at least 200 euro per year to use it.

 Hi everyone,

 I'm working for a startup called BugFree Software. We're launching a new
 Python product for web automation today and, since you are all doing web
 development with Python, I wanted to let you know about it.

 Helium is a library that wraps around Selenium to simplify web automation.
 It does away with many of the technicalities involved with web scripting.
 For example: Here is a Selenium script. Can you guess what it does?

 ff = Firefox()

     ...

 text_area = ff.find_element_by_id("u_0_1q")
 text_area.send_keys("Hello World!")
 button = ff.find_element_by_class_name("_42g-")
 button.click()

 Here is the same script rewritten using Helium:

 start_firefox()

     ...

 write("Hello World!", into="Update Status")
 click("Post")

 Can you now guess what it does? That's right; It updates your Facebook
 status.

 In an extended comparison that we were invited to write for the December
 issue of Professional Tester (professionaltester.com), we found that an
 example script automating Gmail took 66% fewer lines of code and 75% less
 effort using Helium than with Selenium alone.

 You can find more information and download Helium from http://heliumhq.com.
 Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

 Hoping to hear your thoughts and comments,

Is this open source?

We added a Social License yesterday that is in fact free. :-) Check it out on http://heliumhq.com/purchase

Never heard of a Social License.

That's interesting, but how about making it free for open-source apps who give you a credit on their repos?

Why not just use selenium, then you can use it to test both your open
source sites and ones that you write for a living.

Cheers

Interesting idea! We'll think about it.

Best,
