WebTest Integration

[rliebig]

WebTest is a Framework for testing WSGI-Application without actually performing HTTP-Communicating and has intresting features. It is intresting, because with it, it is possible to lookup the source of the application. One could traceback vulnerable sourcecode to specific functions or maybe even lines. It also offers better integration with forms, etc. However, this should be kept strictly a optional feature.

It should be possible to avoid crawling and use the RoutingTable of the Application, as we have access to the environment. This would help to test, as example, APIs.
