New life for jWebUnit
My first open source project I got involved in hasn’t got the attention it deserved. As such it was pretty much a dead project. Personally I had much more fun and invested more time in Wicket, but a month ago I made a great decision for jWebUnit.
After almost 2 years of inactivity, Julien Henry, a french student working on his last intern project for Cap Gemini, is working very hard to give jWebUnit a fresh release.
Julien presented himself to our very small developer community:
My name’s Julien, and I’m a french student. I’m currently doing my final
internship in Capgemini. I work on functional testing of web
application, and it led me to try Mercury Quicktest, JStudio, Webtest,
HttpUnit, HtmlUnit, jWebUnit and finally Selenium (now Selenium RC). I
also work on the migration of our applications under Maven 2.
I hope I could help jWebUnit to raise, as I think it’s one of the best
solution I tested.
If the folks at Cap Gemini require some input on giving Julien a grade, I’ll gladly give him the credentials he deserves. jWebUnit looks better than before and I’m still seeing much progress.
jWebUnit now has several testrunners for different test frameworks:
- httpunit (old style)
- htmlunit (new!)
- jacobie (use internet explorer)
- selenium (new!)
I most certainly hope Julien will give jWebUnit better Javascript support, and that we’ll be seeing support for testing Ajax in the near future!
Go Julien!

Go for it! We’re anxiously awaiting. We use jWebUnit at agillaire and we think it’s a very solid framework. It definitely could use some enhancements. I have a developer in my team who will be very interested in contributing as well….
