I ran across an open source product today which is designed for web application testing and I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget about it; Selenium. It allows a person to develop scripts to automate their browser. Very interesting concept because, like I said, it would be great for testing web applications after software version updates, but it would also be a great tool for various other things such as:
- Hitting your YouTube video many times a day to increase your hits
- Contributing to a DDOS attack
- Possibly even retrieving data from a web site on a daily basis
