Selenium is what I'm using, Selenium IDE (firefox plugin) makes it easy to set up tests. http://www.seleniumhq.org http://www.seleniumhq.org
UserTesting.com is great for usability testing, they have people follow some of your instructions and record their screen/voice as they go through it. Feedback from this has lead to a lot of critical improvements.
Another article you might be interested in is about how software is developed for the space shuttle (they test like crazy). Someone posted the link on HN last night and it's fascinating: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html
- nethergoat 17y agoOn a related note, one of the authors of Selenium IDE founded a startup called BrowserMob (http://browsermob.com/ http://browsermob.com/) that uses Selenium recordings for load testing and monitoring. Great guys there, and a fantastic service. I've been a customer for over a year - it's one of the few companies I'm impressed with enough to evangelize.
- hugs 17y agoShinya Kasatini is the original creator of Selenium IDE, based on my version of Selenium (which was simply called "Selenium Core"). Shinya is also famous for creating the "Pocket Guitar" iPhone app. Patrick Lightbody is founder of BrowserMob and is the co-author of Selenium RC. RC is the Java-based Selenium server for driving browser testing from any programming language. I also do lots of stuff with Selenium at my startup, Sauce Labs. Sauce focuses on making your functional/acceptance testing cycle go faster by providing hosted "browser in the cloud" infrastructure where your tests run in parallel for a huge speed boost.
