Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4285734"] Selenium is a tool that allows you to automatically test web application from the UI. You can write selenium test scripts in a number of languages. I'm using C# to write the scripts/methods. Once the scripts are coded in C#, I replay them using nUnit. The nUnit tests start the Selenium components, test the webpages and give me the results. Since you are testing in a C# dll, the none of the Request or Response objects are available to you. So you can't do something like examine any of the .Net objects in there. However, Selenium does let you inject cookies into the browser. So if my test code could create a valid FormsAuthenication cookie, I could place it in the browser. This has proven problematic because the System.Web.Security class does an initialization that expects to find the web.config. So, if you try to encrypt an authentication ticket when the HttpContext is not available, such as in a standalone dll, it will fail. Lots of static variables haven't been initialized with the web.config values (e.g. the MachineKey) [/QUOTE]
