Unit Testing DHTML

[petermichaux]

Hi,

I've been thinking about unit testing DHTML widgets. Is the only real
way to create small examples/test files and manually run each in a
bunch of browsers?

Thanks,
Peter

Google for ecmaunit or jsunit. These are both good for testing client-side
javascript.

If you want to test interaction with a server then you may need something a
bit more powerful: have a look at Selenium
(http://www.openqa.org/selenium/).

In either case you will still have to load the tests into each browser you
want to use, but the actual running of the tests should be fully automatic.

JsUnit server can be configured to run tests in a number of browsers on
either local or remote machines. Very handy when used together with VMWare.
