We are currently developing a trade project with Richfaces 3.0, Seam 2.2 and JBOSS 6.0. And we are using Selenium for our GUI tests. I just want to know if there is any possibilty to access beans in selenium tests.
No, Selenium and Seam beans are a completely different level of abstraction. Seam beans are running inside a JBoss server while Selenium works on top of a web browser.
If you want to somehow control the application from the inside, you must provide some interface for these beans that is accessible via Selenium test. For instance you might expose some operations as web services or JMX beans and access them from Selenium test suite if written in Java.
Note however that this is not the best practice – Selenium tests should only work on user interface (end-to-end) level. Try to setup your application only via the user interface rather than manually accessing application internals.
UPDATE: If you have some common setup (like users, products, etc.), insert them in your database as part of your common deployment infrastructure. Then you can have a single test for creating/accepting a user, adding product, etc. and then simply reuse the common users already existing in the database.
