Can you advice on the best technoogy to use for automating web-testing for an Ajax-loaded-website ?
That's not my area of expertise. My team's application doesn't have a lot of Ajax, and we've been able to cover test automation with Canoo WebTest. I don't think that tool would be appropriate for heavy Ajax use. I've heard good things about Selenium for this.
In our book we have some real-world stories from real teams on how they approached different challenges such as automation (this includes a sidebar on why a team chose to use Selenium RC). The message we try to get across in the book is that test automation, along with all other aspects of testing, is a team problem. The whole team should be committed to making the application testable and finding good solutions for automation. Be willing to experiment. The beauty of short agile iterations is that you can try out a tool and know quickly whether it will work for your situation.
