WebTester opens a browser by sending a http request to Selenium Remote Control (<a href="http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control/">http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control/</a>). And then this remote control starts the browser. Selenium Remote Control is a java process you have to start before starting the selenium tests in Smalltalk.<br>

I am therefore pondering on how to proceed with the port of the external browser testing in SeasideTesting. I have the impression it makes more sense to combine SeasideTesting and WebTester for this.<br>

</div>SeasideTesting only needs a way to raise the browser on a URL. After<br>
that, all communication is done via HTTP. So FFI is needed, but only if<br>
that's how you open an external web browser from Squeak/Pharo. How does<br>
WebTester open the initial web browser window...if it doesn't need FFI<br>
then I suggest using the same mechanism with the SeasideTesting port.<br>
