# Web Testing with Windmill

You need to write some tests for your web application... really, you do!

But what kind of tests do you write? What approach do you take to testing with limited time and resources? What tools do you use?

There are many competing test tools and framework for automated web testing. In [Web Testing with Windmill](http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/36) I'll briefly cover the different testing approaches and tools, where Windmill fits in, and why it stacks up to it's competitors as the best tool for writing, debugging and maintaining web application tests across all browsers on all operating systems.

Then I'll take you through the process of writing, running and debugging your Windmill tests and getting them running in the "cloud" (look at me I used a buzzword!).
