Statt is Selenium Testing All The Time.  It's being built as a replacement for Webrat using Selenium servers organized in a grid, to speed up testing with multiple servers.  

== Progress

As of version 0.0.4:
- You can spawn a Hub, which stands in for the Remote Control server in a grid setup. This can only be started locally to minimize network latency contributing to slowing down the tests.
- You can spawn one to as many RC servers you need to do the job.  In the future, you'll be able to specify the location of servers that are non-local, though you'll have to start them up yourself.  
- You can start a client, spawn a browser session, and start sending commands to the hub.

== TODO 

<del>- set up the client to talk to the hub.</del>
- setting up the api for the selenium client, with the goal of replacing Webrat steps.
  - methods to locate links, buttons, etc. by their text.
  - construct statt_steps.rb for inclusion in cucumber steps dir.
  - remove webrat steps and place statt steps in features/steps dir using an executable.
  - undo parameter for executable to restore webrat steps.
- algorithm for dealing with features that modify the database to ensure a clean state for tests that need it.
- cucumber integration (setup, teardown, tagging, database concurrency)
- set up hub to communicate with multiple non-local RC servers.
- minimize gem size (~7.8MB)
- wiki on how to set things up (Cucumber, DatabaseCleaner, Machinist).
- optimizations for speed.

== Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
   bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
