Selenium

Selenium is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application user interface tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser. Selenium comes in two parts.

• A server which can automatically launch and kill supported browsers, and acts as a HTTP proxy for web requests from those browsers. Version 1.0 of the server was called Selenium Remote-Control (RC), version 2.0 was called WebDriver.

• Client applications that send commands to the Selenium server in a special language (called Selenese) that tell it what operations to perform on the launched web browser.

You can use SpiraTest together with RemoteLaunch to schedule and remotely launch instances of Selenium-Remote Control (RC) or Selenium WebDriver on different computers and have the testing results be transmitted back to SpiraTest.
