Ask YC: What do you use for automated testing?

I've been using selenium. It lets you save your recorded web interactions in a variety of languages.

http://selenium.openqa.org/

Which langauge do you save them in, out of curiousity? I'd be interested in hearing that from others, too. I'm using the ruby driver, personally.

I mostly use the Java unit test format, but I also use the selenium IDE to automate a lot of repetitive setup/config stuff. And I've started using the Lisp API (http://selenium.openqa.org/) for hand written tests.

I've been using the ruby selenium driver as well. Works great.

Watir (Ruby), or for a current project, WatiN (.NET port of Watir).

It's fun to watch.

If you're into Python try Twill, Mechanize and use appropriate tools for Firefox(XPCom--GIYF) and IE (IECom--GIYF).
