Hi All, Just wanted to let the list know that, as part of the work on automating more of the functional tests for the 4.3 release, we've decided to go in a slightly new direction. I've started a new project that uses Cucumber-jvm and Selenium to provide a bit more structure and human readability for tests going forward. You can find it at https://github.com/bibliotechy/cspace-cucumber for now, but it will soon move the main CollectionSpace github group. We've started work on the Person Vocabulary test, to see how well our existing test plans translate to Cucumber / Gherkin syntax. So far, so good. Big thanks to the folks at Berkeley for sharing the work you have been doing for your webapps. which definitely influenced or decision on how to move forward with the QA work.

Chad, Thanks for the kind words. The Berkeley effort to build tools to ease the UI QA effort is the result of a diligent and well-executed effort by our two summer CSpace interns, Regina XU and Ruijing Li, who brought the Cucumber/Capybara/Selenium technology in and implemented a thorough test suite for the Django webapps. Good work, RJ and Regina!
