Can Selenium test mobile webapps?

Question

I need to test Android (Android Browser) and iPhone/iPad (Safari for iOS) with Selenium or a similar Ruby-aware automated testing tool. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Selenium should be able to handle it:

• For the iPhone, take a look at http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/IPhoneDriver
• For Android, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AndroidDriver

Note that these selenium drivers are still under development, and probably contain bugs.
