I'm pumped that no super cool announcements came out of Steve's Keynote today. I dig that they've just enhanced my favorite Mac apps (iLife).

I should start this by saying that I love Canoo's WebTest. It allows you to test clicking through your webapp as if you're using a browser. You simply write your tests in an XML file (which is really an Ant build file), and then run it with Ant. Usually, in my webapps, I write simple tests for CRUD on entities - i.e. EditUser (tests pulling up the edit screen), SavePosition (edit and save, verifies next screen's title), SearchUsers (verifies list screen's title).
One of the issues I had this morning was testing a wizard with WebTest. This was because I didn't know how to get the id of the new record after it was added. Now I found a way. Let's say you have a Create a Job wizard. On the first screen, you enter the job, and on the second, you add the required skills, on the third, you view a summary. To get the new id of the job, you can use XPath to get the hidden field named "jobId" - to do with what you may (i.e. click on a link to the third screen). Here's how:
