comment Do Academic Researchers in Automated Software Testing Believe All Testing Can Be 100% Automated?
To automate the testing of a CAPTCHA you need to do one of the following: 1 - Turn it off; 2 - Fix the response to a static answer to enable you to enter it correctly; 3 - Supply the answer to the CAPTCHA to your test (e.g. hidden div with the correct answer). If you managed to automate by reading the picture the CAPTCHA is not fit for purpose and should have failed your testing.

comment How to access sitemap tree child node navigation link using selenium webdriver
Based upon the information you have supplied I would suggest that there is no element that has the link test "Entities" on your page. You will need to give us more information if you want help, the website you are testing would be a good start.

comment QC 10: Shortcut keys for blocking a single step/all the steps?
Unless you can access the QC source you won't be able to add hotkeys, the examples I gave above are to show you what they look like to aid you in finding hotkeys that are already in the HTML...

comment Can the base-url be changed in the same browser session using Selenium RC?
Would be good to know what version of seleinum you are using (I'm specifically looking for a version number, Selenium RC is one of the Selenium API's that is available in Selenium 1 and Selenium 2)

comment How to click a link / button implemented as a div or span element with WebDriver
I know that things like this can be done, but I would argue that they shouldn't be done and by using workarounds in our automation to get round this badly written HTML we are just adding to the problem. Say no to bad HTML!

comment How to click a link / button implemented as a div or span element with WebDriver
Personally I would raise a div that is implemented as a button as a defect. HTML is supposed to be sematically correct, by subverting the functionality of elements this is no longer true and it will affect people interacting with your site. How will a screen reader know a div is really a button? How will people who have customised css for accessibility purposes know that the div's are supposed to be buttons? How will somebody with JS turned off interact with the site?

comment Performance testing - a way in?
Selenium is not really a performance testing system (although it can be abused as one). If you want to use Selenium as a load testing tool you'll need a hell of a lot of hardware, or you'll need to use somebody like sauce labs (saucelabs.com). I would suggest you are better off going the JMeter route!

comment Click() command in Webdriver API not working
Which Browser? If IE it could be because the physical mouse pointer is over the browser when the test is running (There are issues with IE picking up the physical mouse pointer location and using that instead of the pointer location set by selenium). Is it really a clickable button? Can you show us some HTML, that would help diagnose the issue. Are you expecting a JavaScript event to be fired on click? Possible the event isn't firing when a click occurs. Basically we need more info.

comment When to start testing a solo project
Adding tests after bugs have occured is the same as shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted... You should be adding tests before you write your code, google TDD it's a ball ache at first but the benefits far outweigh the negatives! You will end up with much more stable software and you will waste much less time trying to diagnose hard to find issues later on in the project. TDD results in a slower start, but means you fly along in the middle and at the end whilst others are bogged down trying to work out wtf is going on. TDD = better design!
