Dagger is a light, robust Web UI autotest framework based on Selenium and TestNg.

Dagger is an automation framework first, it provides APIs to control browsers;

Dagger is a test framework then, it uses TestNg to organize testcases and TestNg's assertions are embedded in APIs above;

Dagger is a design style at last: the framework and the testcases based on it both should be light and straightforward.

• Easy to learn while only less then 20 APIs altogether, see this.
• Providing a quickstart, see this.
• High speed with parallel mode which is indeed TestNg's feature, see this
• High stability with a trick on TestNg to retry failed/skipped testcases automatically, see this.
• Using Chrome as default browser which is much more quick and stable than Firefox and IE.
• Firefox and IE are also supported.
• Capture screenshot automatically when testcase failed.

• Integrating Flex/Flash automation.

Dagger is quite suitable for a small group to kick off Web UI autotest, for this case, just checkout Dagger with Eclipse and write testcases within it.

Already have an autotest framework? Please build Dagger into a .jar file to use. However, no build script now :-(
