Please give me your valuable suggestions regarding the WebAii, Watin and Selenuim.
Actually i have been using WebAii and its working fine for me but at the same time i have not used other frameworks to test Ajax supported web applications.
Please share your thoughts or issues you faced while using one of these frameworks.
We used both watir, watin, and webaii and have opted for webaii because of it's predictability in dealing with AJAX.
The webaii framework is priced right :) but it would have made some people on the team more comfortable if it had been open source.
Even after the merger with Telerik. WebAii is still free. It can be downloaded from here:

is there anybody who preserved the old Website of the Janusys company. Mostly known for their GridEX Winforms control but they had a complete suite of Winform Tools. Their support was (up until 'bankruptcy') very good and gave much more info on how to use their control in a non standard way.
I still use their components a lot in my projects and up until last year there was still a lookup method on http://janusys.net to get ideas if I was stuck.
The site(s) are out of the air now, so I hope someone has made a 'copy'??
regards Sandor
I hope too.
I hope the site is reactivated or that someone has managed to make a backup
I have been looking for a server side javascript platform and seen references to Aptana Jaxer which looked ideal, but the Jaxer aspect appears not to be supported any more, is this correct?
I have seen the Jaxer site and installed the standalone server and it looks excellent but cannot see where (or why) I would use Aptana if it doesn't integrate with it or have I missed something?
I am trying to avoid the effort learning a technology that is no longer supported?

Yes, Jaxer is dead.
I've explained my reasoning elsewhere in this answer.
I have recently started a new job in a company that depends heavily in an application developed with Apple Web Objects.
It happens that this company does not have a way to make automated tests whenever a new update is received, weather with bug fixes or new features.
We have no access to the code since it is a proprietary application.
My idea is to develop a suite of test cases to allow us to do regression testing through the GUI.
I have looked for tools for this, but could not find anything capable of "seeing" which components are in the GUI.
Before I arrived to the company, other people had already tried with HP LoadRunner with no success. I tried with AutoIt 3.0 just to check if it would recognize the fields, but also without success.
Anyone with experience testing such kind of application?
Which tools do you think that could fit for this purpose?
I appreciate your opinion.
Thank you!

After some research I found a few good solutions for such problem. I came down to two solutions. Both of them are image based "which means it can "see" the user interface, just as the human eye does".
Proprietary solution

Open source solution

Hope this can help others in the future.
I am building a email service based on templates. I thought of using the spark view engine but it seems that It doesn't get much updates anymore.
Support on .NET4.0 is not even yet complete and it fails at runtime when used in a console app.
The little Intellisense support that was there in VS2008 doesn't seem to work on VS2010 (from the information I have found)
Should I avoid it?
What do you think?
There has also been talk, from Phil Haack and Louis Dejardin (both on the ASP.NET team) about getting some form of support "in the box" for Spark. That "support" may just be intellisense.
Louis Dejardin, the author is speaking about the view engine at NDC2010, in Norway. I guess it's far from being a dying project then :) good.
If you need to do email based on templates, DotLiquid (http://dotliquidmarkup.org) could be a nice solution, expecially if you need your end users to edit templates without tampering your system.
It seems like MS really left a massive gaping hole in their automated testing tools in Visual Studio for web pages with AJAX components and I have been hard pressed to find any commentary or third party add-ons that remedy the problem. Anyone have any advice on automating web tests in MSVS for AJAX pages?
I eventually gave up trying, and just stuck with WATIR
I don't know if this will help, but you can try this:

EDIT:Sorry I reread your Q and realized you meant specific to VS. I don't know if you are familiar with Script#, but I had read some talk a little while back that someone was building a testing framework to use with that, and Script# can be used with MSAjax. Might be worth some investigation.
