Abstract
One of the most important phases in the Web development cycle is testing. There are several types of tests, different approaches to their use and a wide range of tools. However, most of them are not open source, require coding and do not have a pedagogical nature. This article introduces WebPuppet as an automated Web UI testing tool. The tool is distributed as a small Node package and can be easily integrated into any learning environment in the web development domain. In addition, it does not require coding in any language, just use a very simple domain-specific language that will generate a test script to run in client applications. In order to exemplify its use, a simple test scenario based on a login page is presented.
