Brett holds an Electrical Engineering degree and a Masters of Business Administration from Brigham Young University. He also holds a Masters in Computer Science from Utah State University.

Session Description: Functional testing for ERP applications like those in OFBiz can be very laborious and time consuming. In this presentation, Brett explains how OFBiz users can create effective functional tests for their applications using a framework called Selenium XML Selenium XML is an extension of Selenium (http://seleniumhq.org) and allows a user to create and run functional tests in a simple XML format. The framework supports multiple browsers and provides functional and visual verification of a real user experience. This presentation will cover recording tests and converting them to Selenium XML, parameterizing those tests, combining functional and system level tests, and automating test running. Brett will also be presenting on future directions such as converting test cases to functional document, auto-generating test cases based on OFBiz artifacts, and adding scripting support and AJAX libraries to Selenium XML.
