Plone ACT – functional tests for Plone made easy

plone.act and its documentation gives you everything to get started in writing and executing functional Selenium tests (including acceptance tests) for your Plone add-on.

plone.act performs functional testing by using two testing frameworks: Robot Framework and Selenium.

Robot Framework is a generic test automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD), even for behavior driven development (BDD). It has easy-to-use plain text test syntax and utilizes the keyword-driven testing approach. Selenium is a web browser automation framework that exercises the browser as if the user was interacting with the browser.
