Bunk and Rambling

A few months back, I converted a large set of ruby selenium tests to using selenium-rc and rspec. Unfortunately the changes didn’t stick, mainly due to a lack of ruby debugging support in our primary development environment, Intellij 6. The idea has stayed at the forefront of my mind since that time and it was great to stumble upon Kerry Buckley’s blog on selenium-rc and rbehave. In my opinion, the type of approach to testing that he discusses is an absolute necessity if we expect automated functional testing to go mainstream.
