django-selenium-testcase

This repository implements a simple subclass of Django LiveServerTestCase that enables selenium testing of the Django live server. Rather than relying on Gherkin syntax found in Lettuce and Aloe tools, this package favors of python function calls and method decorators directly available in the TestCase namespace.

Integration testing is never easy and we found that adding a layer of regular expression parsing and a separate test runner system moved code complexity from the application to the test fixtures. This module gives us an easy way to get similar aloe/lettuce functionality of interface testing without having to build separate test fixtures.

Quick Start

• Add 'selenium_testcase' to INSTALLED_APPS.
• Add "url(r'', include('selenium_testcase.urls'))" to urls.py.
• Use the SeleniumLiveTestCase instead of LiveServerTestCase.

        self.get_page("/")
        self.should_see("This is a test.")
