I will provide the steps for automation testing as a series of tutorials. The automation is going to be done using the selenium tool (free) and Netbeans IDE (free again)! Steps 1. Download firefox browser, if you already don't have one. 2. Start firefox and go to the selenium website. Selenium is available as a plugin for firefox. http://selenium.openqa.org/ We need the "selenium ide" plugin. So we go here : http://release.openqa.org/selenium-ide/1.0-beta-2/selenium-ide-1.0-beta-2.xpi 3. When the browser prompts you, say "open the file" and the plugin will get installed in your browser. 4. Alternatively, you could save the file to your desktop. Now drag and drop the file into the browser window. This will install the plugin into Firefox. Result You should be able to access the plugin from the tools menu. See the screenshot below.

The best site (free) that I have come across to learn python is "http://www.awaretek.com/tutorials.html#begin". Justin (my brother) suggested this. It has many useful podcasts. I like podcasts because they help me to easily retain the information I learned . Learning becomes fun!! I am going to learn python using this site. The first tutorial I am going to try is http://uselesspython.com/JoeUselessWritesAProgram.html It is supposed to be very simple.. Will keep you posted on the same!!
