Software Advantages Disadvantages Status
Spider
  • Developer (Bob Clary) on staff
 In use on QA test farm.
Selenium
  • Designed for web application testing, not end-to-end browser testing.
 Under investigation.
Eggplant
  • Cross-plaform (uses VNC)
  • Bitmap-based testing is inherently fragile.
 Coop is working with Eggplant on the test farm to generate some proof-of-concept tests.
TestGen4Web
  • Designed for web application testing, not end-to-end browser testing.
 Under investigation.
dogtail
  • Python-based: would be easy to extend
  • Reliant on accessibility hooks.
  • still very alpha
 Under investigation.
LDTP
  • someone in China is already working to automate testing of Firefox (1.0.6)
  • Requires Gnome
  • Reliant on accessibility hooks.
Under investigation.
Tomato Under investigation.
Grubzilla
  • promises automated and "hidden" testcase generation
  • Reliant on expert domain knowledge (hard to get) to seed testcase generation.
  • No existing examples (that are accessible at least)
Waiting on feedback from Edjard and/or Monica. We tasked them to provide some proof-of-concept testcases for Software Update and Preferences.
Tracer
  • architecture is interesting
  • Captures a lot of information that we don't really care about.
 Possibly reuse this design pattern in the future, but the tool itself is of limited use.
