Re: Who is using the seleniumxml and why?

[Anne <an...@cohsoft.com.au>]

We use Geb (http://www.gebish.org/) and Spock
(http://code.google.com/p/spock/) with Groovy. We find this
combination much easier to use and maintain than using Selenium.

Our tests are for our custom screens, so wouldn't be of any use to the project.

Cheers,
Anne.
