Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - automated testing advice

Hello friends,

 

Any advice on automated testing of a web application with
Prototype-based Ajax stuff?

 

We were looking at something like Actiwate (Junit/HttpUnit stuff), but
they don''t support XMLHttpRequest (yet).  Using the new JS unit testing
I''ve seen here doesn''t look like it would work, as
we''re talking about
multi-page as test vectors:

1.	go to some login page
2.	enter userid/password
3.	click some link
4.	verify you logged in based on text on the next page that came
back
5.	navigate some place
6.	click an edit link (dispatching an ajax request)
7.	wait for the call to rewrite the dom
8.	enter in some text to the new input fields
9.	click save (dispatching an ajax request)
10.	wait for the call to rewrite the dom
11.	verify that new data appeared

Or can it handle things like that?

 

Thanks for any advice,

 

Rahul
