To avoid this problem, we highly improved the QA process during the Bugzilla 3.2 cycle and decided to write a script which would populate your fresh new installation so that you could also run our Selenium and WebService tests. This script is located in bugzilla32/config/generate_test_data.pl, and requires that you first set parameters in bugzilla32/config/selenium_test.conf correctly. Note that generate_test_data.pl must be run against an existing Bugzilla installation, created by checksetup.pl! Once the DB is populated, you can start the Selenium server and run our scripts located in bugzilla32/t/.

This will download Selenium scripts for all branches, including Bugzilla 2.20, 2.22, 3.0, and 3.2. Do not expect HTML scripts to work as is. They were based on a given test installation on landfill having some given user accounts, products, components and parameters, and so they won't run on a fresh test installation. They are only available so that you can see what we did till Bugzilla 3.0. Note that the 3.0 branch has a t/ directory with test scripts related to WebService. As those point to the same test installations as above, they also won't run as is on a fresh test installation.

The fastest way to write Selenium scripts is to use [http://openqa.org/selenium-ide/ selenium-IDE] ([https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Newest&numpg=10&id=2079 amo], formerly [http://seleniumrecorder.mozdev.org/ Selenium Recorder]). Selenium-IDE is a Firefox extension which writes scripts for you. It records your actions and converts them into a valid Selenium script. If you decide to install this extension, you don't need to install Selenium separately; everything is included in the XPI package (samples and docs are not included though). You can also write Selenium scripts with a text editor, but this is longer and can be pretty painful.
