title: Web Automation Tool
body: <p>I've realized I need a full-fledged browser automation tool for testing user interactions with our JavaScript widget library. I was using qunit, starting with unit testing and then I unwisely started incorporating more and more functional tests. That was a bad idea: trying to simulate a lot of user actions with JavaScript. The timing issues have gotten out of control and have made the suite too brittle. Now I spend more time fixing the tests, then I do developing.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to find a browser automation tool that works in:
  Windows XP: IE6,7,8, FF3
  OSX: Safari, FF3
  ?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I've looked into SeleniumIDE and RC, but there seems to be some IE8 problems.</p></li>
  <li><p>I've also seen some things about Google's WebDriver, which confusingly seems to work with Selenium.</p></li>
  <li><p>Our organziation has licenses for IBM's Rational Functional Tester, but I don' think that will work on the MAC.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The idea is to try to run tests on all the browsers our organization supports. Doable? Are my requirements unrealistic? Any recommendations as far as software to try?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
