Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Unit testing/Selenium's not dead :)

I am not sure whether we should drop Selenium completely. Selenium tests do test the application as a whole. While I agree that a lot of things that are currently tested with Selenium can be substituted with QUnit or similar, I still think that selenium tests should be used to check more complex interaction patterns, e.g. to test a file uploader or GUI elements that interact via AJAX with the server.

Also, keep in mind that selenium tests are quite easy to record. While experienced developers like us probably tend to write the tests instead of recording, I think that we can actually reduce the barrier for others.
