Hi Sumana,
Sure I would be interestd in writing tests with other tools. I like the
record and play option in Selenium IDE to get a feel for the code. I am
seeing that TestSwarm is a possible tool that the developers are using. Is
there a tool with more of a record and play option, that will not interfere
with the pages, to use and become familiar with the code? Feel free to email
me offline too.

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?
