NAME
    HTTP::WebTest - Testing static and dynamic web content

DESCRIPTION

    This module runs tests on remote URLs containing
    Perl/JSP/HTML/JavaScript/etc. and generates a detailed test report. This
    module can be used "as-is" or its functionality can be extended using
    plugins. Plugins can define test types and provide additional report
    capabilities. This module comes with a set of default plugins but can be
    easily extended with third party plugins.



CHANGES SINCE LAST STABLE VERSION 2.00:

ENHANCEMENTS:

* Port self-testing suite from Test to Test::More.

* HTTP::WebTest allows to specify non-default parser for wtscript
files.

* Now HTTP::WebTest::Parser can generate wtscript files from test
parameters.

DEPRECATIONS:

* Subroutines 'start_webserver' and 'stop_webserver' was moved from
HTTP::WebTest::SelfTest to HTTP::WebTest::Utils.  They still can be
exported from HTTP::WebTest::SelfTest but their usage from this module
is deprecated.

BUG FIXES:

* New versions of LWP add Client-Peer header in all responses what
breaks one of tests in self-testing suite. This test is fixed so it
should pass ok with both new and old versions of LWP.  Thanks to
Johannes la Poutre for bug report.

* Test in self-testing suite for 'timeout' parameter was buggy and
could fail on some machines.  Thanks to Johannes la Poutre for bug
report.

* HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::HarnessReport produced report output on
STDERR what was adding noise in 'make test' output when being used in
Test::Harness-style test suites.
