Otherwise you are wasting precious test time. Functional tests requiring a database are easier to do without a browser (HTTP get/post, etc, works on the command line).

I believe with Selenium you can only validate the web pages.
I have been in a quest for an open source functional/regression testing tool that support loading, checking and unloading the state of the application database in addition to invoking and checking web pages but no luck so far. There seems some commercial tools that support this feature such as HP's Quick Test Professional .
Ensuring the web application insert/update the business data stored in the database correctly is the most critical issue.
Any helpful information would be appreciated.
