ACCEPTANCE TESTING TOOLS - OPEN SOURCE

 Acceptance testing tools are used to validate the functionality of web applications. Some follow a scripted approach and

typically make use of a Unit Testing framework to construct test suites and test cases. Most, if not all, can be adapted to

perform security specific tests in addition to functional tests.

. WATIR - http://wtr.rubyforge.org

o A Ruby-based web testing framework that provides an interface into Internet Explorer.

o Windows only.

. HtmlUnit - http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net

o A Java and JUnit based framework that uses the Apache HttpClient as the transport.

o Very robust and configurable and is used as the engine for a number of other testing tools.

. jWebUnit - http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net

o A Java based meta-framework that uses htmlunit or selenium as the testing engine.

. Canoo Webtest - http://webtest.canoo.com

o An XML based testing tool that provides a facade on top of htmlunit.

o No coding is necessary as the tests are completely specified in XML.

o There is the option of scripting some elements in Groovy if XML does not suffice.

o Very actively maintained.

. HttpUnit - http://httpunit.sourceforge.net

o One of the first web testing frameworks, suffers from using the native JDK provided HTTP transport, which can be a

bit limiting for security testing.

. Watij - http://watij.com

o A Java implementation of WATIR.

o Windows only because it uses IE for its tests (Mozilla integration is in the works).

. Solex - http://solex.sourceforge.net

o An Eclipse plugin that provides a graphical tool to record HTTP sessions and make assertions based on the results.

. Selenium - http://www.openqa.org/selenium/

o JavaScript based testing framework, cross-platform and provides a GUI for creating tests.

o Mature and popular tool, but the use of JavaScript could hamper certain security tests.
