Hi,
Anyone have any suggestions for automated testing tools that work well
with WO? I'm having trouble finding something that can handle the
dynamic URLs--most testing apps expect to be able to record URLs and
reuse them in scripts to navigate throughout the site. This doesn't
apply with WO, so I'm kinda stuck. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
We are using HTTPUnit a lot. Its pretty much a programmable browser.
You send a request to the woapp, maybe add some formfield values to the
request (for login or other stuff). Then you can check for things like
'is there a hyperlink whose content is 'clickme'. Then you can 'click'
on the hyperlink or submit button or whatever. This will send a new
request to the woapp, just like if a user clicks the link in a browser.
By using random values you can 'click' on different 'products' and
simulate a complex user interaction. This is a great tool in my point
of view. It will help you find out deadlocks (EOF ones) very easy and,
well, its interesting how you app behaves and performs if you start 30
concurrent 'clients'.
cheers David
