Question

Does anyone know of a firefox extension, or some other tool, that enables you to 'record' the interactions with a website, and then play them back, as a way of testing a website?

Was it helpful?

TestGen4Web is a Firefox extension that records user actions on Firefox and generates XML code describing such actions.

TestGen4Ruby (tg4rb) translates the XML output from TestGen4Web into Firewatir code.

FireWatir then runs this code and replays the actions recorded by TestGen4Web.

I prefer iMacros its very user friendly, and u can use it without any knowledge of coding (like me)

@Plantje Imacro's is nice indeed for just recording the session your doing and playing it off again maybe in a loop.

Kevin suggestion: Selenium, does the same it's just more advanced. Eventually if you want to go deeply into it you can get a Selenium Webdriver and let your tests run at night and send you a mail or error report etc whenever it fails.

Selenium WebDriver

I personally started with Imacro's it was great but eventually i switched to Selenium myself and I'm more then happy with it. Currently working on the Selenium Webdriver which will make it even more easier for testing.

Though you can still use both. Selenium is more likely for checking if data is correct aswell. Where it's harder to work with gridtables etc so Imacro's has a small advantage to that one which I still use it for ^_^

So use both! Checking both out is totally worth it

Kind regards
