The testrecorder is a browser-based tool to support the rapid development of
functional tests for Web-based systems and applications. The idea is to "record"
tests by exercising whatever is to be tested within the browser. The test
recorder will turn a recorded session into a functional test.
Test recorder supports two output modes:
Selenium
In this mode, the testrecorder spits out HTML markup that lets you recreate
the browser test using the Selenium functional testing framework.
Test browser
In this mode, the testrecorder spits out a Python doctest that exercises a
functional test using the Zope testbrowser. The Zope testbrowser allows you
to programmatically simulate a browser from Python code. Its main use is to
make functional tests easy and runnable without a browser at hand. It is
used in Zope, but is not tied to Zope at all.
