I am excited to announce testgen4web 1.0.0
This is a great release with lots of new features.

Download here: http://developer.spikesource.com/frs/?group_id=14&release_id=107

Note: I have tested this on only firefox 3 - Please let me know if you need a firefox 2 version, and it can be tested there too!

Here are the list of features:

New features added:

1. brand new shiny editor: All new editor with easy to use interface. Much more simplified from the previous versions of the editor. See screenshot!.
   
   

   New features include:
   

   
   
   • Nicer editing featues
   
   
   • Shows status of the current step when running the recording by adding a >> at the begining of the step in the editor
   
   
   • "Run Status" tab on the right pane of the editor shows the status of the player/recorder, status of the datasets and variables
     
     
     
   
   
   • "Debug" tab provides easy way to run javascript on the page, build a xpath and try it out before running the actual command
     
     
     
   
   
   
   


2. execute-js action: execute random javascript during execution of the script. This would help developers work around some quirks of firefox and testgen4web. eg: http://developer.spikesource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=865


3. assert-text with xpath: this action until now was pretty much ignored. Now the user has an option to select where to assert the text. There are 2 ways
   
   
   
   • * as xpath will search the entire page
   
   
   • specify an actual xpath will search in that area
   
   


4. detachable bar: you don't have to be thethered to the main window anymore. detach the testgen4web toolbar and keep it on the side for editing long recordings easily.
   


5. Simple xpath support: Now you can record with simple xpath. This xpath generating script will be complete xpath (NOTE: that your recording might break if simple things on your webpagee changes. I would still recommend that you use the 'smart xpath' option.
