[Seaside] seaside front-end testing tool pharo4.0

[lesage yann]

Hi Bob,

thank for your anwer.


Johan,

In some case, we just to test user interaction but we want to test our js
script more deeply (time excution, if error come of model (server side) or
of script ...). I have understund :
- selenium + parasol is a good to user interaction test
- mocha stay the solution to test our script JS and theirs dom
modifications.

So I think i have answers for my questions.

realy thank for you two :D
