Re: Testing maven java web projects?

[Dan Kigelman <dk...@gmail.com>]

Hi Dmitry,

What kind of web project is it?  Is it a website or a web service?

For http-based web applications, I would recommend looking into:

httpunit - http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/
htmlunit - http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/
jwebunit - http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/
canoo - http://webtest.canoo.com/
selenium - http://www.openqa.org/selenium/

I think HttpUnit allows you to build http requests and read http
responses.  This may be rather low-level if your application serves
HTML.  In that case, I would look into HTMLUnit, which (as its name
suggests) is more suited for testing HTML.

JWebUnit and Canoo are higher-level tools for testing HTML, (they both
use HtmlUnit).  Checking the title, or an option in a <select> takes
much less code than directly with htmlunit.  With JWebUnit you would
write the testing code in Java, and with Canoo I think you write in
xml.  (I've never used canoo)

Selenium is something I've been meaning to look into.  It has a tool
for recording your actions in a browser and generating code to repeat
that.

Hope this helps,

-- Dan
