There have been numerous efforts in an attempt to solve the problem of cross-browser support in the context of web UI testing. Some examples are: using JavaScript driven automation and solutions like WebRunner. The lack of low-level access to DOM elements required for operations such as retrieving all their properties and not being able to trigger Windows/Operating System Events directly over the browser (for example, simulating mouse move events on the browser) is problematic. Further, the tests browser and methods need to be agnostic, allowing the same tests to run in IE (via mshtml or Microsoft UI base automation) as well as Firefox and other browsers via AjaxBrowserLayer with no code changes necessary.
This paper describes a test harness for developing test automation for websites. The harness provides a set of classes that a test developer can use to develop custom coding solutions for controlling (automating) and verifying websites. The harness is completely browser agnostic meaning a single code base can execute on multiple browsers.
