      <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">I have posted the acceptance test code
in both Selenium and WatiN on the <a href="http://agilebug.com/2008/08/21/MeetingTonightOwlThistleSeattle5PM.aspx">AgileBUG.com</a> site.
This code is a short demo and example of how we can do acceptance testing using both
tools. The presentation is a short one on what ATDD is, and why we should do it. It
serves as a prelude to the tools demo.<br /><br />
Join us at the Owl and Thistle tonight in person for a pint and some good agile discussions!<br /><p></p><br /><img width="0" height="0" src="http://bitsnwidgets.com/aggbug.ashx?id=c6618fc9-440e-432c-9a83-05ae28fba06b" /></body>
