Testing websites

Just running a link checker is not enough to check that your web site works. In a lot of cases it is at least partially autogenerated. It would be nice if there was a way of automating testing this.

Perl: perl is the standard language for this sort of thing, and unsurprisingly there is a perl module that helps you do this. It seems to have a comprehensive plugin structure, and takes parameters for tests from scripting files. [ HTTP::WebTest ]

Java: jWebUnit, an enhancement to HttpUnit. Integrates with junit, and all your other java test cases. [ jWebUnit ]
