Hello people,

I am wondering what tool(s) do you use for front-end testing...

Currently I am using Selenium RC as tool to test the front-end. I am quite happy with the result as I managed to integrate it with the ms build process etc. The problem with Selenium tests is that they are not always reliable especially if you browse with something else than Firefox.

I am looking for open source alternatives (tools for front-end testing)?
