Re: Automated Unit Testing for CGIs

in reply to Automatet Unit Testing for CGIs

Chapter 7 of Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook is on testing web sites. In a nutshell, it recommends the following:

Test the backend using Class::DBI and your favorite suite of Test::* modules.
Test the frontend using Test::WWW::Mechanize
Record a session using HTTP::Recorder
Validate the HTML using Test::HTML::Tidy
Test Apache with Apache::Test; see also http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html
