+Test Recorder
+=============
+
+The testrecorder is a browser-based tool to support the rapid
+development of functional tests for Web-based systems and
+applications.  It supports two output modes:
+
+Selenium
+  In this mode, the testrecorder spits out HTML markup that lets you
+  recreate the browser test using the Selenium_ functional testing
+  framework.
+
+Test browser
+  In this mode, the testrecorder spits out a Python doctest_ that
+  exercises a functional test using the Zope testbrowser_.  The Zope
+  testbrowser allows you to programmatically simulate a browser from
+  Python code.  Its main use is to make functional tests easy and
+  runnable without a browser at hand.  It is used in Zope, but is not
+  tied to Zope at all.
+

+.. _doctest: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-doctest.html
+.. _testbrowser: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/ZopeTestbrowser
+
+Like Selenium and the Zope test browser, the test recorder can very
+well be used to test any web application, be it Zope-based or not.  Of
+course, it was developed by folks from the Zope community for use with
+Zope.
