Dear fellow Monks,

I'm looking for a way to do regression testing on my mod_perl app (on which ten other developers are working simultaneoulsy) so that each developer is able to produce tests for the features they work on, and we can collectively put together a suite of tests to run before checkins. Having this will allow us to move faster and will give us some stress relief when doing checkins an packing tarballs.

I've been thinking about coding one myself, but I think if I do this I'd most probably end up reinventing someone else's better wheel.

The features I'm looking for are as follows:

* Can run from the command line.
* Can generate tests sequences by recording live-user browser input by way of a proxy.
* Allows developers to hand-insert regexes in the generated tests to validate accuracy of responses.

Does anybody know of a tool to do this, or can be adapted to do it, or know of other approaches to automated testing of web-apps out there?

Thanks in advance for any help!
