<< HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs". It models HTML documents and provides an API that allows you to invoke pages, fill out forms, click links, etc... just like you do in your "normal" browser. >>http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/

Capybara

http://github.com/jnicklas/capybara

27

<< Capybara aims to simplify the process of integration testing Rack applications, such as Rails, Sinatra or Merb. It is inspired by and aims to replace Webrat as a DSL for interacting with a webapplication. It is agnostic about the driver running your tests and currently comes bundled with rack-test, Culerity, Celerity and Selenium support built in.>>http://github.com/jnicklas/capybara

Steam

http://github.com/svenfuchs/steam

Steam is a headless integration testing tool driving HtmlUnit to enable testing JavaScript-driven web sites. In that it is similar to Culerity which drives Celerity (which also drives HtmlUnit).

ENVJS IS A SIMULATED BROWSER ENVIRONMENT WRITTEN IN JAVASCRIPT. IT WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED BY JOHN RESIG AND DISCUSSED IN HIS BLOG HERE. ENVJS IS NOW SUPPORTED BY A COMMUNITY OF DEVELOPERS WHO ALL USE ENVJS AS PART OF THEIR OWN OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS.
