Automatic testing of Enterprise Applications using FOSS tools

In actual enterprise level applications, either web or services based, it's more and more necessary to have a suite of tests to be executed automatically in order to prevent regressions of the system.
Commercial tools actually available are quite expensive and they often retain high levels of complexity or too high learning curves.
In this presentation you will be introduced to some mature open source tools, with particular reference to FitNesse for services test and Selenium for web applications test.
