Hello Fellow Monks,

I've developed a fairly mature web app - it's about six years old now.

Recently, I've been bug triaging/fixing and after about say the 50th bug, I just about lost my mind and thought, "This is 1: out of hand and 2: going to be hard to confirm that these bugs are really fixed"

Which then, I made the executive decision to enforce a test policy using modules such as Test::More.

A few questions:

• This project is already pretty sizable - what's a good way to ease into placing tests for the various components of the project?
• The web app needs some minimal configuration to make it work and most of the app works via the web browser, there really is no command line interface to it, so many of the tests will have to work as if the test app is emulating a browser (I do know about Mechanize and friends). Would anyone be willing to share their strategy on how to work with an environment like this?

Thanks for any feedback you can give - I know much of Perl's strength is its testing suite and I'd like to really get into it, however late I am to the party ;)
