WebTest at University of Santa Clara 
Prof. John Noll runs his course on
Software Quality Assurance and Testing again in the 2006 spring semester.
This course has become a tradition over the years. It uses Canoo WebTest for test automation.
One of the really cool things is that the course is not targeted at software developers but at students of business administration that act as customers of a web application development project modelling their requirements as WebTests.

Announcing Canoo WebTest 2.0 
Dear WebTest users,
I'm happy to announce the delivery of Canoo WebTest 2.0.
Check it out under
http://webtest.canoo.com .
This newest version shines with
- elaborate JavaScript support thanks to using HtmlUnit 1.8
- improved and enlarged set of available steps, featuring core steps, extensions, filters, PDF, Excel, Email, Applets, and technical details such as HTTP headers and Cookies
- supporting both the traditional specification of test cases in terms of ant/xml and scripting test cases in Groovy
- excellent online user manual (including many examples) that fits snugly into the new WebTest website and is built right from the WebTest source code
- unrivalled tool quality thanks to our committer's dedication, the automated build process, and 100% test coverage.
A big THANK YOU goes to our committer's crew with Denis Antonioli, Marc Guillemot, and Paul King in the forefront.

WebTest in Grails 
The upcoming Grails project will include sophisticated support for Canoo WebTest.
Grails is an open-source application framework based on Groovy. see
http://grails.codehaus.org .
Grails allows easy defintion of domain classes, views, and controllers from scaffolded artifacts. For these artifacts, it also scaffolds WebTests, see
http://grails.codehaus.org/Functional+Testing .
Grails is comparable to Ruby on Rails but runs on the Java platform and leverages the power of J2EE, Spring, and Hibernate. It even works with existing Java domain classes and mappings.

Canoo WebTest in the press 
I'm happy to announce 2 articles about Webtest (both available only in
printed editions):
In Better Software Magazine (November-December 2005, Issue 7-9)
Lisa Crispin has written "A look at Canoo WebTest".
The
table of contents
links to the print content. A
related interview of Marc and me is available online.
In
iX Magazine(12/2005) (German)
Marc Guillemot and Benjamin Feiermann have written "Webanwendungen
automatisch testen mit Webtest". It's a 4 pages introduction to webtest
for "beginners" (no advanced topics or "insider tips" and therefore
probably not interesting for experienced webtest users).
