MXUnit and Selenium Remote Control

I was working on a MXUnit and Selenium Remote Control example, a year ago, and finally fixed the documentation. It shows how do functional testing with Selenium through MXUnit. It is a simple demo.

Here is the zip. Read the Selenium-RC – Using the CFML Client Driver.doc before using for how to setup your system.

For the most recent files, use http://mxunit.googlecode.com/svn/org.mxunit.selenium/trunk/

Please send me feedback on clarification for the doc or any changes you may add to the example and I will update the svn repos.

    It is cool since you could setup selenium tests with mxunit to test different browsers.

    Awesome, Mike. Thanks! There's a drive here at work to automate functional testing and I keep going around in circles and coming back to Selenium. This looks very promising. Wish me luck!

    Mike, I'm confused in reading the documentation. Where do I find the MxUnit Selenium folder? Or am I just creating an empty folder? Where do I find the Selenium Coldfusion Client Driver to install it?

    Hi Shannon, I had the wrong link for MXUnit and corrected it. The MXUnit Selenium Folder is the zip file. The Selenium ColdFusion Client Driver is a bridge in the zip to the Selenium Java Client Driver which you'll grab from http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control Hope This helps.

    Mike,
    I was hoping to find this in your posts since you seem to have blogged the most on use of CF and Selenium. Your posts look great and I can't wait to actually use them, but I've got tons of other stuff on my plate. We have one team member working on using Selenium and asking me questions that I just don't know the answer to, so I'm hoping you can help. When would you use MxUnit with Selenium versus not use MxUnit? What are the benefits/drawbacks of one versus the other? She's been using it to automate and do data driven tests, but each test is set up to loop through multiple tests and if one fails, they all fail. This is really probably a second question, but is somewhat related in that maybe there's an easier way to approach the test designs?
