<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Hi,</div> <div>I am currently evaluating test automation tools. So which browser does WebTest support?</div> <div>According to <a href="http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/config.html">this page</a> it says:</div> <div><em>browser</em><br/> Required? No, default is "InternetExplorer6"<br/> Specifies the browser that should be simulated. Allowed values are Firefox3 (or FF3) (deprecated), Firefox3.6 (or FF3.6), Firefox10 (or FF10), InternetExplorer6 (or IE6), InternetExplorer7 (or IE7), InternetExplorer8 (or IE8).</div> <div> </div> <div>Is that all? Those are pretty old browsers only. Or might this documentation be outdated only?</div> <div> </div> <div>If WebTest is based on HtmlUnit (currently version 2.15). Shouldn't its supported browser be the same like HtmlUnit? In HtmlUnit you can specify the browser by the <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/WebClient.html">WebClient</a> constructor using a <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html">BrowserVersion</a> constant. Those would be:</div> <div> </div> <div>http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html</div> <div> </div> <div> <table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="overviewSummary" summary="Field Summary table, listing fields, and an explanation"> <caption><span>Fields</span><span class="tabEnd"> </span></caption> <tbody> <tr> <th class="colFirst" scope="col">Modifier and Type</th> <th class="colLast" scope="col">Field and Description</th> </tr> <tr class="altColor"> <td class="colFirst"><code>static <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html" title="class in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit">BrowserVersion</a></code></td> <td class="colLast"><code><strong><a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html#CHROME">CHROME</a></strong></code> <div class="block">Latest Chrome.</div> </td> </tr> <tr class="rowColor"> <td class="colFirst"><code>static <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html" title="class in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit">BrowserVersion</a></code></td> <td class="colLast"><code><strong><a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html#FIREFOX_17">FIREFOX_17</a></strong></code> <div class="block"><strong>Deprecated.</strong> <div class="block"><i>as of 2.14</i></div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr class="altColor"> <td class="colFirst"><code>static <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html" title="class in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit">BrowserVersion</a></code></td> <td class="colLast"><code><strong><a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html#FIREFOX_24">FIREFOX_24</a></strong></code> <div class="block">Firefox 24 ESR.</div> </td> </tr> <tr class="rowColor"> <td class="colFirst"><code>static <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html" title="class in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit">BrowserVersion</a></code></td> <td class="colLast"><code><strong><a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html#INTERNET_EXPLORER_11">INTERNET_EXPLORER_11</a></strong></code> <div class="block">Internet Explorer 11.</div> </td> </tr> <tr class="altColor"> <td class="colFirst"><code>static <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html" title="class in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit">BrowserVersion</a></code></td> <td class="colLast"><code><strong><a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html#INTERNET_EXPLORER_8">INTERNET_EXPLORER_8</a></strong></code> <div class="block"><strong>Deprecated.</strong> <div class="block"><i>as of 2.14</i></div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr class="rowColor"> <td class="colFirst"><code>static <a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html" title="class in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit">BrowserVersion</a></code></td> <td class="colLast"><code><strong><a href="http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/BrowserVersion.html#INTERNET_EXPLORER_9">INTERNET_EXPLORER_9</a></strong></code> <div class="block"><strong>Deprecated.</strong> <div class="block"><i>as of 2.14</i></div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div> </div> <div>Another thing: How is it possible that WebTest is based on HtmlUnit <strong>2.4</strong> if HtmlUnit's latest version is <strong>2.15</strong> today?!
