Haveyou looked at selenium?

I quote:

Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly  
in a browser, just as real users do. And they run in Internet Explorer,  
Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. No other test tool  
covers such a wide array of platforms.
Browser compatibility testing. Test your application to see if it works  
correctly on different browsers and operating systems. The same script can  
run on any Selenium platform.
System functional testing. Create regression tests to verify application  
functionality and user acceptance.

There is also a Lisp interface cl-selesium though I can't find the code on  
the net now.
