Introducing the Tellurium Automated Testing Framework

Introduction
The Tellurium Automated Testing Framework (Tellurium) is a framework for testing web applications, which was started in June 2007 by Jian Fang and became an open source project on Google Code in June 2008. It is released on a regular basis and is currently at 0.7.0.
The core of the project was started over two years ago and quickly spawned multiple sub-projects including: UDL, Core, Engine, Widget extensions, Maven Archetypes, Trump, Tellurium IDE, TelluriumWorks, and reference projects.
The framework was developed from the Selenium framework, but with a different testing concept. Most existing web testing frameworks, like Selenium, primarily focus on individual UI elements. Tellurium on the other hand, treats the whole UI element as a widget; calling the element a UI module.
