Selenium is an automated web application testing utility that runs your tests directly in a web browser. Selenium uses JavaScript and Iframes to embed a test automation engine in your browser. The engine uses JavaScript that you can write by hand, but the makers of Selenium, OpenOQ.org, have also created an IDE extension for Firefox that make writing your tests much easier. If you would like to try out Selenium and the Selenium IDE, you should check out this tutorial (complete with screencasts) that will get you up and running in no time at all! The tagline here is “Selenium automates browsers”–that sounds pretty good doesn’t it?

Top 10 Ajax Applications
The blog at A Venture Forth is offering a list of the Top 10 Ajax Applications currently available on the net. For the most part his list is very complete, although I would suggest that he is missing the most impressive one which is Zimbra, an open-source collaboration server with an awesome AJAX based GUI.
I have been doing a lot of Ajax development posts lately on Digital Media Minute and I’m hoping that I’m not tilting too far to one side as far as getting my readership information which there actually interested. Do drop me a line if you’d like to affect the direction that I’m going; I aim to be responsive.
