One of the RB'ers told me they have been using DejaClick, a Firefox extension, for automating test scenarios on the web sites.
Basically, you have the tool record your clicks and actions. You then save that to a file and you can play it again. For example, if I want to make sure my contact us form works, I can run a test scenario for it and play it over again when I want to run the test. It saves time. Here is a video that shows it in action:
So you can set this up to make sure certain features work on a site after you make coding changes. This tool will be heavily used here.

Nice post! We use the iMacros Firefox plugin for the same purpose. You may want to look at it. We prefer iMacros because it can automate downloads, import data from CSV and Excel files and has a good command line interface.

Thanks but I'll stick with Dejaclick. I had too many issues with iMacros when I tried it. It also forces its users to learn a whole new command language to do anything useful which defeats the purpose of having a simple point and click recording tool for my browser.

I've tried iMacros and failed with it.
It wasn't able even to make simple login to a web site.
Dejaclick did it easily.
