Determine whether to add BDD-Security or Gauntlt for end-to-end testing #35

Closed gingeleski closed 4 years ago

gingeleski commented 4 years ago

Either BDD-Security or Gauntlt would seem to desirable to add for end-to-end testing.

This issue covers researching which of the two is more maintained, developed, and desirable.

A separate issue will be opened to initially add whichever one to the Vagrant image for this project.

Upon close inspection of both projects, they strike me as being pretty equal in --

However, BDD-Security edges out Gauntlt in my view for a couple reasons.

One is it has some degree of support for "Selenium/WebDriver" whereas there's no evidence of this for Gauntlt. It lists "curl" and I guess that's how far it goes sending ad hoc requests and interpreting responses.

Two is it's Java-based and built with Gradle, just like this project. That gives me a feeling that integrating its results with these results in a pipeline of some sort will be easier. More importantly, I would much rather get my hands dirty with Java as opposed to Gauntlt's Ruby.

Closing this issue with my decision as BDD-Security ... I will fork it to customize as needed.
