Firefox as a Development and Testing Tool

Meeting Start Time: Tue, 06 Mar 2007 18:00:00 -0800

Firefox used to be just a web browser. But due to the extensible framework that it is build on, it has become much more. We will demonstrate using Firefox as a Development and Testing tool for PHP web applications (or actually any web application).

Some of the tools to be investigated include:

  • Web Developer extension
  • Firebug extension : An AJAX development must have.
  • OpenQA Seleniun : open source tool to create automated, platform independent, functional/acceptance tests. In addition, with Selenium Remote, you can write those tests in any programming language you prefer)
Here are the notes for the Selenium part of the talk.
