Sauce Labs, the Selenium company, today rolled out Sauce TV to customers of its Sauce OnDemand cross-browser testing service. Designed to eliminate a critical ‘blind spot’ when testing applications in the cloud, Sauce TV gives developers a live, secure view of their tests running on Sauce Labs’ cloud machines.

Developers can shorten their test debugging cycles with the confidence of knowing what’s going on at all times – and share testing videos with their teams.

With almost two million tests already served in the cloud, Sauce OnDemand is the premier cloud-based Selenium service. Created to meet customer demand, Sauce TV delivers full visibility into cross-browser testing cycles in a secure environment. Users have access to only their own tests and do not have to wait until the end to discover issues, allowing for faster debugging cycles. Sauce TV’s remote desktop player also works directly in the web browser without any extra software needed.

With Sauce TV, Sauce Labs continues to simplify and improve the cross browser-testing infrastructure for companies. Sauce TV features and benefits include:

* Live view of tests running in the cloud
* Remote desktop player works right in the web browser
* Faster test debugging cycle
* Ease-of-use with no complicated software to install

Selenium have announced the release of the latest version of its IDE.  Announced on the Selenium Official Blog, Selenium 1.0.7 was said to have been delayed as a result of “…some internal build changes and not code, but one of the code changes that is there more than makes up for the delay”.

Key change for this release is drag and drop functionality…

“That’s right, drag-and-drop has finally arrived to Se-IDE — though credit lies with Jérémy Hérault for implementing it. … Oh, and if you are Swedish, there is now a localization for you. Yes, a real one. Not just one that makes everything say Bork as was suggested to me. Although a Pirate locale might be arrr-some”

The post blog states that “those with version 1.0.5 or newer, the update will be pushed to them automatically over the next couple days.

Those new to Selenium IDE or with 1.0.4 or older will want to download from the site.

Lightweight Test Automation Framework is an integration testing tool, which works by scripting the web browser to perform a sequence of actions against your application’s UI – entering text and clicking links and buttons exactly as a real user would – and then checking that the expected results can be seen in the browser window.

Just in case you don’t know the difference between unit testing and integration testing:

Unit tests work against the API of a particular component in your code.  Ideally, they test only that single isolated unit (hence the name), which allows them to pinpoint any problems exactly where they occur.  Unit testing tools for .NET include NUnit, mbUnit, and xUnit.

Integrations tests combine multiple components.  Typically, they work at the UI level to test that your JavaScript, your HTML, your controller code, your model code, and your database all work together.  Integration testing tools for .NET include Selenium, Watin, and Lightweight Test Automation Framework.
