It would be good to introduce a protocol for validating our web platform before and after a release is deployed. This would help us to quickly identify immediate problems with our release.

For that, I would advise we use the Selenium Web Driver.

The software is installable on Linux, via apt-get install python-selenium, or on OS X with port install y27-selenium. You can also install it via PyPI, by including the dependence selenium on your buildout.cfg.

Discuss here the protocol for tests.
