Find a client-side unit test framework

[deltron]

Like the old HttpUnit

That will go through every page/workflow (submit an appointment, etc.) to make sure everything runs properly before deployment

[deltron]

3 leading frameworks for Python are :

Lettuce http://lettuce.it/

Freshen https://github.com/rlisagor/freshen

Pyccuracy https://github.com/heynemann/pyccuracy/wiki/Overview

Will use this in the dev environment for unit tests: http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/guide/testing.html

[deltron]

this is good for the basics (ie. test not error 500) but we need a better way to parse through the response page, set checkboxes, fill out forms, etc.

I like the look of these tests from Pyccuracy:

A typical Pyccuracy test would be something like:

As a Google User I want to search Google So that I can test Pyccuracy

Scenario 1 - Searching for Hello World Given I go to "http://www.google.com" When I fill "q" textbox with "Hello World" And I click "btnG" button and wait Then I see "Hello World - Google Search" title

Exactly. We need unit tests with the one I posted, and workflow tests with lettuce, freshen or pyccuracy.

Agreed. Let's keep the discipline with testing, it's going to save a lot of headaches later... I'll write a few high level tests tonight to complement the webapp tests

both Lettuce & Pyccuracy are based on user stories. Lettuce isn't designed specifically for web-based testing, Pyccuracy is but not sure how actively developed.

It might be better to drop the user story part and focus on web testing frameworks. This one seems to be the best :
