Re: What you people use: Browser based automated tests or Cake's Inbuilt lib?

I think selenium and the built in test suite have different goals in
some respects. Outside of CakeWebTestCase there is very little
support for browser-esque testing. The focus of the core test suite
is on functional and unit testing of objects and not on web testing.
I think you almost need to use both selenium and a unit test suite to
get full end to end test coverage.

Sure WebTestCase can do many of the things Selenium does, but I feel
that Selenium is a better and easier to use tool for web testing.
