Open source test automation tools for functional testing of web applications

Question

what are some good open source test automation tools to test web applications ?

Answer 1

Have you looked at Selenium?

It is widely used.

Another well known framework is Watir, using Ruby and its .NET counterpart Watin.

Answer 2

I would recommend Selenium, because of its superior handling of JavaScript. Specifically, I would recommend Selenium 2.0 (now available as an alpha version): it has been recently integrated with WebDriver to improve its API, and is consequently much easier to use.

Answer 3

If you look at Selenium, then I would also look at TestMaker by PushToTest.com. It is an open source test automation framework that lets you create data driven tests for Selenium and allows you to run the scripts as functional, automated regression and load tests as well as production SLA monitors. You can download the tool from the website and there is a tutorial to walk you through working with Selenium scripts.

Answer 4

selenium + testng is my recommendation.
selenium response for APIs that calls javascript to simulate user action on web page.
testng is a test framework like junit, but is also support grouping and multi-thread over large set of test data in table format
