Acceptance testing

David Farber
Anyone care to share their approach to acceptance testing for  
Seaside?  I'm looking for something that operates on the full output  
of the HTTP response (as opposed to unit tests that operate on  
individual components).

Thanks,
David

Selenium (user interaction testing)

ab (stress testing)

httpd.apache.org

Seaside Testing
but it is old and in the words of David, it is been replaced for a new
version aimed on Seaside 2.9

Also, check the blog of Dale Henrichs

http://gemstonesoup.wordpress.com/

and James Foster

http://programminggems.wordpress.com/

I don't remember which one, for tips for using Jmeter (I think) for testing.

Cheers,
Miguel Cobá

I like to think "old" is a good thing.  I'd prefer "solid", "well
tested", "mature" :-) :-)

Anyway, based on my inbox a lot of people use SeasideTesting....or at
least try it.

I'd like to add that I've modified SeasideTesting to provide many of the
features of Selenium's in-browser testing concept.  I haven't released
it yet because I'm busying using it in a new project.  There are still
problems but I will put it out there (for VisualWorks only at first)
very soon now.  If anyone want to have a look at it now, let me know.

That being said, ST's focus is on unit testing but I use it for
functional/integration testing as well.  The new version supports
testing a "remote" application (with no direct access to the server).  
What's missing is a high level way to specify functional tests.  I'd
/really/ like to work with someone on something like that.  The Rails
community has some cool tools like cucumber which are worth some study.

Also, have a look at Albatross as well...again, more about unit testing
but you can probably layer something on top of that to get decent
functional testing.

David

David -

I'd love to try out the updated testing framework -- particularly if it
can test remote sites that require logging in, navigating menus, etc.
