Tip: Website Testing with Selenium IDE

Quick recommendation for web developers: Selenium IDE.
Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests. It is implemented as a Firefox extension, and allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. Selenium IDE includes the entire Selenium Core, allowing you to easily and quickly record and play back tests in the actual environment that they will run.
Selenium IDE is not only [a] recording tool: it is a complete IDE. You can choose to use its recording capability, or you may edit your scripts by hand. With autocomplete support and the ability to move commands around quickly, Selenium IDE is the ideal environment for creating Selenium tests no matter what style of tests you prefer.
There are several use cases for Selenium IDE that I will describe in detail later. It’s especially useful when it comes to complex tests, for example, when you want to make sure that registration processes and stuff work properly. Selenium IDE tests can also be automated which is yet another plus point.
If you’re interested, take a look at some Selenium documentation, and download and test it, of course. And like I said, more to come soon.
