Automated UAT Shootout: High-Noon w/ Selenium, WebDriver, Watir, and HtmlUnit

Today's web application developers and testers have a host of options at their disposal for building automated user acceptance tests. This session will be a "shootout" of sorts between several of the popular available frameworks:

  • Selenium
  • WebDriver
  • Watir
  • HtmlUnit

We'll briefly examine the feature set of each of these tools and look and their pros, cons, and appropriate usage patterns. We'll then take a few web application screens and utilize each of the tools to implement a test scenario. I'll allow you, the session attendees, to declare the winner, and then follow up with my recommendations.
