Windmill Plugin for Hudson
Over the last 6+ months, I have been using Hudson in conjunction with Windmill very heavily for continuous integration. For the most part using the build step specific to whatever the slave OS requires has worked sufficiently well until recently when my needs changed.
I use the ‘configuration matrix’ option to build a matrix of browsers [...]
PyCon 2009 Recap
Getting back in the swing of things after conferencing for weeks can be pretty painful, thus the lateness of the post. However I think it’s important to go over some thoughts still lingering in my brain as a result.
First off, I have to say that for those of you who don’t know, PyCon is a [...]
Skinning Windmill with JQuery UI Themes
I have been doing a lot of UI work on the Windmill trunk, and over the past few months I have had multiple requests for the ability to apply skins. Of course my reaction up until this point has been… alter the CSS! Which is not exactly the answer people were looking for.

Meet lookupNode

The IDE has been growing organically since 0.1 and there was a lot of functionality [...]

I have seen a slew of things about Grid, and Selenium, and people hacking on Watir so I decided to show you from the ground up how incredibly [...]
Bringing Windmill to Life
Project Status
I have spent nearly every day since July 7th working to bring the Windmill Project up to a level where it can be used reliably in a production environment. Our mission starts with “Windmill is a web testing framework intended for complete automation of user interface testing”, of course this refers to the web [...]
JUnit Compatible Reporting for Windmill
A large part of the utility in a testing framework like Windmill is the ability to interoperate with a continuous integration environment. Much of the work that has gone into Windmill recently has been the result of continuous integration needs. There are many ways to do this with existing software packages out there that include [...]
