Selenium tests can be recorded, exported to Java code and used without any major changes.

The test below has been sligtly changed.

package tutorial;

import org.junit.Test;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Ignore;

public class IndexActionTest extends SeleneseTestCase {

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        setUp("http://localhost:8080/", "*chrome");
    }

    @Test
    public void testNew() throws Exception {
        selenium.open("/coolapp/index.action");
        selenium.waitForPageToLoad("1500000");
        selenium.isTextPresent("Welcome, World!");
    }
