WET is a opensource web automation testing tool that drives an IE Browser directly: automated testing done using WET is equivalent to how a user would drive the web pages. Using WET, a developer can perform all the operations required for testing web applications – clicking a link, entering text in a textfield, clicking a button etc. WET allows a tester to perform various checks as a part of the testing process by using Checkpoints
Even though WET offers the convenience of recorders, it does so without compromising on the requirements of a true test automation tool – Powerful Scripting Ability. The WET Scripting Engine has been developed using Ruby, a powerful object oriented scripting language. WET is suitable for both the beginner level and advanced level test automation engineer.
An Advanced test automation engineer can directly take the full advantages of the WET Core engine. Since WET is written using Ruby, it exposes a tremendous amount of raw horse power. While WET has many built in testing abilities, a tester can also add libraries / use existing libraries to acheive just about any level of test automation. Your test automation is only gated by your ability to image.
A Beginner can directly jump into the world of test automation and start creating scripts using the WET UI. The WET UI, uses an innovative technique called Proxied UI of Testing using a simulated view. In this technique, you follow the same steps as in the manual test case, but in this case, you use a simulated browser view to perform these actions. With this technique, you get the convenience of a test script recorder, and at the same time, are able to overcome most of the inherent problems associated with test recorders
This release includes many new features which makes WET, arguably the best opensource alternative to expensive web testing tools
Few Features at a glance: Easy test development using the WET UI Excellent extensibility through powerful scripting ability Ability to plugin ruby libraries Object depot for good script maintanibility Object identification using multiple parameters. ‘Test definitions’ for robust test management Slick HTML results Integrated checkpoints support Integrated Datatable support Reliable popup handling
The latest build is at http://wet.qantom.org/downloads/wet_0.9.8_beta2_setup.exe
Full information about WET is available at http://wet.qantom.org

Payjacks is an object oriented PHP – Ajax web application framework I’ve written to help write robust and organised web applications. It was designed to require a minimal amount of effort to get your own web application up and running, while helping with such tasks as accessing a (MySQL, currently) database or providing a framework for sending asynchronous Ajax requests back to the server.
Payjacks uses many of the new object-oriented features in PHP 5 to do its work, and handles most of the details required to run a robust web application.

The SourceLabs SASH stack for Java is a stack of lightweight enterprise app frameworks that deploy on a J2EE application server or other Java container. J2EE application standards define system services like transactions, security, messaging, etc. Commercial vendors have focused on providing the best qualities of service for these system services but not addressed application frameworks.
While developers can build applications directly against the J2EE APIs, frameworks drastically reduce the amount of infrastructure code needed for

The SASH stack integrates open source projects to provide these capabilities in a complete package that minimizes the need for homegrown frameworks. SASH consists of
SASH is available on various application server containers, and can also be downloaded from SourceLabs with Tomcat, providing a complete web application platform.
