I have been working on selenium with rspec for while now and trying to put that in Hudson CI Server. would you be interested in expanding last section: "Tests suitable for Agile environment w/ ability to be executed through a CI Server"? I would very appreciate if you could explain that in detail. thank you, Hi Scott, thank you for this post.

Your right, multiple levels allows non codes/developers to participate more easily. BjartN,

I'm currently about to do something similar using a combination of Cucumber, Cuke4Nuke and WatiN. I like the idea of having multiple levels of abstraction on top of the selenium test code. It adds more value to the executable specifications when you can express them in a form that makes sense to non-coders Have your seen any problems with your approach ? Or is everything running smoothly ? Looks great. I’m currently about to do something similar using a combination of Cucumber, Cuke4Nuke and WatiN.

I am doing something very similar with Watij and building a internal DSL as well as a full DSL on top of it. http://simpleprogrammer.com/2010/01/05/automated-ui-testing-framework-a-real-example/ I had the same goals as you. I think it is really important for the success of automated function tests in agile, to make sure that just about anyone can write and understand the tests. I also think it is a very good idea to have developers initially create the framework. One thing I would like to do, is to be able to have an IDE with auto-complete that works for the DSL. Have you tried this yet? Very cool. I am doing something very similar with Watij and building a internal DSL as well as a full DSL on top of it.
