Testing web apps with Selenium

Doing investigation about the Java Ecosystem this week and I am surprised with the capabilities of a framework called Selenium. Selenium is a robust set of tools that supports rapid development of test automation for web-based applications. Selenium provides a rich set of testing functions specifically geared to the needs of testing of a web application. These operations are highly flexible, allowing many options for locating UI elements and comparing expected test results against real application behavior. Official web site is http://seleniumhq.org/

A short video of what Selenium is capable to do,  could be  downloaded at http://seleniumhq.org/movies/intro.mov

I googled a little bit so I am suggesting the following videos to start up:

First a series of 4 videos that present a small (~20 min) tutorial based on Eclipse and TestNG. Integrating with Selenium is very easy. The author created a 4 part tutorial. The first part follows here:

Very easy to follow all 4 parts.

Second a great video from the guys at http://buildlackey.com/ showing a lot of theory and practise about Selenium in a 90 minutes video. The quality of the video is very good, the sound clear and the presenter talks in a very comfortable way. Very cool and easy-going. Talks a lot about Selenium and later goes to details about integrating functional test with Apache Maven and doing Continue Integration with Hudson. The video here:
