This document provides an overview of automation tools for web functional testing, including commercial solutions like IBM Rational Functional Tester and HP Mercury Quick Test Pro, as well as freeware options like CubicTest, Windmill, and Selenium RC. Selenium RC allows testing across browsers with scripting in multiple languages and has a nice recorder, though it is only available in Firefox. Windmill also has a good recorder and supports cross-browser recording, but tests are executed via the command line without HTTPS support. CubicTest uses intuitive test case descriptions with visual diagrams but has bugs in its recorder.
