Re: GWT and automated testing tools

To echo Ryan's point, we have been using Selenium/Cucumber on our 1000+ widget project for a year now to great effect.

Just make sure you add a 'debugId' attribute to elements of interest as we found XPath's or CSS based selectors to be very brittle and often broken by minor UI tweaks. Just place the 'debugId' attribute in the UiBinder element, or set it with element.setAttribute('debugId','CUSTOM_ID');

P.S. JBehave looks very tempting as Cucumber depends heavily on Ruby.

Sincerely,
Joseph
