Tellurium - Tellurium is an open-source UI module-based automated testing framework for web applications. The UI module is a collection of UI elements you group together. Usually, the UI module represents a composite UI object in the format of nested basic UI elements. The UI module makes it possible to build UI elements' locators at run time. The Tellurium UI Model Plugin (TrUMP) is a Firefox plugin to automatically create UI modules for users. The framework does Object to Locator Mapping (OLM) automatically at run time so that you can define UI objects simply by their attributes. Tellurium uses the Group Locating Concept (GLC) to exploit information inside a collection of UI components to help finding their locators. A new Domain Specific Language (DSL) for web testing is defined. A powerful feature of Tellurium is that you can use UI templates to represent many identical UI elements or dynamic size of different UI elements at runtime, which are extremely useful to test dynamic web such as a data grid. Another feature is the capability to composite UI objects into a Tellurium widget object. You can pack Tellurium widgets as a jar file and then use a Tellurium widget just like a single tellurium UI object once you include the jar file. The Tellurium Core is written in Groovy and Java. Tellurium Engine and Trump are implemented using JavaScript and jQuery. Test cases can be written in Java, Groovy, or pure DSL. Detailed User Guide, Frequent Asked Questions, and illustrative examples are provided.
