The results are updated around 3 AM Eastern Daylight Timezone every night.

First, for those that don't want to read the full post, here's the "30-second elevator speech":
This post to to discuss using Seleinum with Drupal. Specifically using Maven to run the selenium tests and writing the Selenium tests in Java.
The example code be downloaded from the Workhabit Inc. public repository here: https://svn.workhabit.com/svn/public/drupal/selenium/trunk
One must have the following installed to run:
1. Firefox
2. Java 1.5+

All 3 are easy to install and aquire. Once you download the code from the repository, you can just navigate to the directory and run:

We now have a testing framework in Drupal core. What we need to move forward is some structure that makes writing tests easy and efficient so that we can go towards our 100% code coverage goal without wasting development resources.

Validating HTML Fragments
I am currently working on code that generates html fragments. Simple Test out-of-the-box does a great job helping you test entire http pages, but only it if goes and gets them itself. I could not find any easy way to load in a local page/fragment. So I did it the hard way:

Hello all,
