Testing web applications

[Achim Domma (Procoders)]

Hi,

I'm looking for frameworks to make testing web applications - i.e.
parsing and filling out forms - easier. I found Puffin, which looks good
but not very usable in the current state. I know that I once read about
other nice frameworks, but could not find one via google. Any hints?

regards,
Achim

Zope + Formulator is a nice combination to validating and designing
forms and add some functionality. If you want a more complicated content
management framework, then you can additionally install plain CMF or
Plone, which is based on CMF. There is also something called Silva, but
it doesn't have many products as the other two; however, it is also
nice.

I have heard also about CherryPy, Quixote, Twisted Matrix and Webware,
but I haven't tested them. Once I saw that somebody posted a link, which
compares some of them, but I lost that thread :-(

Regards,
Josef

I've used Jython and a java package called httpunit to great effect. It
even supports javascript on your pages.

Thanks, that is the option I'm currentyl testing. Works great so far!

Re: Testing web applications

The Jython / HttpUnit combination worked well for me too. There's also
maxq (http://maxq.tigris.org/), which looks promising, but I haven't
used it yet.
