Sailaja, Tuong
Just to follow up, it seems we are all researching and trying out
different tools. That's great cause we will be able to easier compare
and evaluate the frameworks and hopefully find one that will fit all our
needs.
Tuong had a great idea that we should meet at some point and present our
findings to each other. That would include showing a sample test in a
given tool, as it would work with our ant test framework. I'll be
presenting HtmlUnit and Selenium. Tuong is currently evaluating
jsunit. Let's shoot for a meeting 2 - 3 weeks from now. Does this
sound ok?
Thanks
