Webunit

http://mechanicalcat.net/tech/webunit/
Unit test your websites with code that acts like a web browser.

Webunit is a framework for unit testing websites:

  • Browser-like page fetching including fetching the images and stylesheets needed for a page and following redirects
  • Cookies stored and trackable (all automatically handled)
  • HTTP, HTTPS, GET, POST, basic auth all handled, control over expected status codes, ...
  • DOM parsing of pages to retrieve and analyse structure, including simple form re-posting
  • Two-line page-fetch followed by form-submit possible, with error checking
  • Ability to register error page content across multiple tests
  • Uses python's standard unittest module as the underlying framework
  • May also be used to regression-test sites, or ensure their ongoing operation once in production (testing login processes work, etc.)
