Here's the typical testing pyramid - it clearly shows that UI tests will not replace any other tests (manual tests or Acceptance/Integration tests) but will complete our test setup.

UI Tests

For now we'll We use Selenium for testing our ui. Test The UITest will be part of magnolia-integration-test/tests and use its test-webapp & test-public-webapp (much as the integration tests do). UITests are only triggered if you specify the corresponding profile (uitest). As specifying a profile no longer invokes the default profile (jetty6-standalone) you have to pass this one as well.

In short, use the following command to locally run the uitests

..../magnolia-integration-tests/tests mvn clean install -P uitest,jetty6-standalone

Goals

Have few typical cases automatically covered to prevent regressions there.

Creating those tests is tracked under 

Next steps

• integrate with ordinary integration tests to re-use it's setup in pom
• merge to master
• re-activate hudson job
• complete once demo-project can be added to test web apps
