1. Make sure that you DON'T have anything important in your MySQL database named "wsttemptest" nor "wsttemptestsurvey". These MySQL databases will be wiped clean every time you launch the test framework. Also make sure that you DON'T have a launch profile in Eclipse that's named "websurveytoolbox" nor "wsttemptestsurvey" because these will be overwritten in this automatic build process.
2. Edit SeleniumCubicTest/tomcatFromScratch/build.properties
   1. In Eclipse, open the SeleniumCubicTest project. Run "tomcatFromScratch/antTomcatFromScratch.xml" as an ant build -- follow the prompt and build the .war file as it specifies. Wait until the build completes (you may have to check the console). If it fails you may have to edit the build.properties in tomcatFromScratch
   2. In Eclipse, go to the "Servers" view and start up Tomcat (sometimes, if you want to use Debug mode, you may have to turn off Eclipse's automatic refreshes, because that may get Eclipse Tomcat into perpetual restarts).
   3. Open "SeleniumCubicTest/tomcatFromScratch/TestFromScratch.aat". Right click, "Run As..." -> "Run CubicTest with Selenium".
      1. If you want to test the Survey Manager survey creation (which mostly needs testing by hand), you can alternatively run TestSurveyManagerFromScratch.aat -- which includes the same initialization as TestFromScratch.aatRead the directions in there about how to customize this file.
   4. Let's install a quick shortcut to building, deploying, and testing, your code.
      (Note that every time you checkout and there's been an update to the "WST_EclipseHelper_Plugin" project you'll want to do this again).
      1. In Eclipse, go to "File -> Export ..."
      2. Under "Plug-In Development" choose "Deployable plug-ins and fragments". Click "Next".
      3. Check the box next to "WST_Eclipse_Helper_Plugin".
      4. Click the radio button "Install into host"
      5. Click "Finish"
      6. When Eclipse asks if you want to restart, say "Yes".
   5. In Eclipse, go to the "WST" menu and click "Build And Run Tests" every time you want to test out your code. It'll build, run the full test suite, and report on errors.
   6. Watch the test fly by!

   You may want to add your own tests for new features you develop -- you may want to put these in your own test file or add them to TestFromScratch.aat.
