Selenium IDE
Selenium IDE is a Chrome addon / Firefox addon which you can install to record and run browser tests.
Once you've installed the plugin, you can record an entire flow from your own browser.
You can record every interaction you do on a website and add assertions in your test.
What can Selenium IDE do for me?

The IDE will mimick your recorded behavior together with the assertions you've recorded.
TestingBot integration with Selenium IDE
When you finished recording a test, you can choose to save the test from the Selenium IDE.

You can schedule tests and indicate if you would like to be alerted when a test fails.
