Marc Guillemot (http://mguillem.wordpress.com/) and myself are working on some screencasts to show WebTest capabilities. The first screencast has been announced on the WebTest mailing list:
and can be found here:
We are looking forward to publish a couple more screencasts within the next few months. If there are special features you would like to see in the upcoming screencast, let me know :)
Enjoy!

There is an interesting post on Marc Guillemot's blog:
He's blog entry can be understood in a way, that the lack of XPath can be associated to the lack of test automation experience. If this relation is correct or not is not as interesting as the reaction which has raised based on his entry.
I'm very surprised, how personal this was taken, especially the comment of Neil: http://mguillem.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/xpath-power-2-detect-lack-of-experience/#comment-16. I would have expected more distance to such a statement and more tolerance.
My understanding of Marc's statement is, that the better an XPath expression is (better in the sense of robust), the better the tests are which might be based on the XPath expression. The first XPath statement Marc is quoting:
/html/body/table[2]/tbody/tr/td[2]/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/div/ul[1]/li[4]
from http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2006/01/useful-tools-for-writing-selenium.html
is not robust at all. If there a small change in the used tables or additional items in the lists, the test will break. If there is a relationship between robust and better, that this statement is not prefered and in this sense, I can understand the statement of Marc very well.

There are some blog posts about Groovy as an extension within OpenOffice. It's quite interesting to read...

I posted a small note on TheServerSide (http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=46374) about the new features of HTMLUnit.
