Windmill is an Open Source AJAX Web UI Testing framework that was originally built to automate testing for the Chandler Server Project at OSAF. After spending time with Selenium we realized we had a variety of needs that weren't being fulfilled and built Windmill from the ground up.

Windmill implements cross browser testing, in-browser recording and playback, and functionality for fast accurate debugging and test environment integration.

We are a relatively young project, but as far as we know we already implement a larger set of a browser testability than Selenium.

    Windmill Gets a Facelift for 1.0Beta1

    Working up to the Windmill 1.0 Beta 1 Release, I finally had the opportunity to put some time into making the IDE (that a lot of you live in when in test writing mode) a little bit nicer to look at.

    Running Windmill tests from Django

    A few years ago I wrote a patch for live server support in Django. The patch fell out of sync with trunk and was picked [...]

    Windmill 0.9.1 Released

    I didn’t think we’d be doing any notable windmill releases until 1.0. Boy was I wrong!
    Seriously Faster
    On Wednesday Adam messaged me and said that the windmill startup time was too slow. He was right, we’ve know about this for a while but hadn’t put a lot of serious thought in to how we could reduce [...]
