Want to get robust tests for your site running NOW, but don't know how? Selenium needs no PHP or Drupal chops and you can write tests by just clicking around the site.

Druplicon takes his selenium supplements twice daily. Do *you*?

Selenium is a testing framework which allows anyone - developers, designers, project managers or the client - to record user journeys in their browser and have those user journeys be replayable on anyone else's browser. It also supports whole suites of tests, automating in the browser and automating outside the browser using a dedicated testing server.

Selenium's a great choice for Drupal testing because so much of the functionality you or your client will want to build is browser-based. Also, with a few extra tweaks, Drupal can integrate very nicely with Selenium to produce robust tests.
