Michelle:
Thanks for the test & test suite! Just wanted to update you that it seems like fewer and fewer MediaWiki developers are interested in Selenium tests, and many are moving to other tools for automatic testing:

Would you be interested in writing test suites or tests for some of these other tools?

Hi Benedikt and Marcus,
I had some time and was reading about current issues around MediaWiki. I saw an issue about tab names - Bug 29310 Namespace tab doesn't handle fallback the same way as core (breaks nstab) - and created a Selenium regression test to verify when it is fixed. It is called javascript-unit-testing-checking-tabs-and-content. It verifies that the tab names are correct. I also created a test suite - test-suite-check-tabs. The suite includes a test to check the tabs on the main media wiki site (a test that passes) and the test - javscript-unit-testing-checking-tabs-and-content. Would you provided feedback as to how useful the tests and how to improve them?
