I wanted to know if there a good IE-based Selenium IDE

Question

The Selenium IDE project is based on Firefox (and its plugin architecture). My application runs only on Internet Explorer (6+). In fact, we actively check for non-IE browsers and do an immediate redirect.

I am trying to remove all of the HTML idiosyncrasies that necessitate the IE dependence.

I have got a robust and growing set of NUnit tests for the code. I want to add Selenium to do Web functional testing. Is there a good IDE for building and recording Selenium tests using IE as the browser?

Answer 1

Selenium does not have an IDE for Internet Explorer. I haven't seen any under development either. My primary focus is FireFox for the IDE.

Selenium can run tests in Internet Explorer (including IE6) using Selenium RC. You can record tests with the IDE in FireFox (or write tests in any programming language and then use SeleniumRC to launch IE and run the tests.
