Google has decided to open source their Selenium test suite so that developers can see the kind of integration tests they’re currently running, and can even contribute their own tests that test specific functionality or an order of operations used on their site. This should enable web site developers to make sure their site works with the Google Maps API.

Sauce Labs is building a cloud-based Selenium service that runs test scripts concurrently. It delivers radically faster test suite completion times and removes the hassle of setting up your own Selenium test machines. User transition to (or from) our service is typically as easy as putting some API calls into a build script or cron job. Generic Selenium in, standard Selenium results out. Just screaming fast and no admin headaches.
We’re starting our free beta program soon, and are seeking Selenium users who would like to run Selenium tests faster, with minimal configuration hassles.

Apologies to all RSS users, the feed has been down for several weeks so you may get a whole bunch of news items appearing today. The feed populates dynamically and I inadvertently changed the database connection file recently but missed the RSS feed out of my test process. D’oh!
