Description
It was previously discussed in comment:3:ticket:11014 that it would be nice to improve the existing functional test infrastructure. Selenium may be a good to utilize.
The current functional test infrastructure based on Twill has some deficiencies:
- The tests execute slowly.
- JavaScript and CSS cannot be tested.
- It is not possible to observe the functional tests manipulating pages in the browser.
- The functional tests are hand-coded using assertions with regexs. The tests are difficult to write, difficult to maintain and errors are easily made.
- Twill does not seem to be well-maintained (#11642).
