[Wikitech-l] FW: [SMW-devel] SMW Selenium system tests available

Thanks, Sumana, for giving me this hint, that I now finally follow: We have made available Selenium tests for Semantic MediaWiki (see email below).

The Wikimedia Foundation has not yet decided, whether it will continuously support this Selenium Framework. Still, we think Selenium system testing has potential for two reasons: * With Selenium IDE [3], it is very easy to create system tests, even for less technically-skilled or SMW-experienced people. * Also more complex Selenium system tests are possible, though in this case writing PHP code will be needed. We'd be happy to hear about your experiences.
