Testing a Web Service with SoapUI, JUnit, Maven and Cucumber
An example is perhaps the best way to describe something. Concrete examples are easier to understand then abstract descriptions.
I will show how SoapUI can be used to test a web service. I will also show three different tools that can be used to control SoapUI. This tool chain can easily be made a part of your continuous build.

Testing a web application with Selenium 2
Selenium a great tool for testing web applications. The current version, Selenium 2, is a merge between Selenium and WebDriver. I will walk you through an example where we test a web site using Selenium in a few different ways. This is the same example as I demonstrated at Scandev on tour 18 October 2011.
