CGI scripts regression tests

Hello,

I have some Perl CGI scripts that I maintain and upgrade. Whenever something changes, I have to start retesting the whole bunch, which is a pain.

Are there any cgi script regression test tools available and if so, do you use any of them and do they work well ?

Thanks

One option would be to write tests with the following modules:

Test::More
http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/Test-Simple-0.62/lib/Test/More.pm

or

Test::Builder
http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/Test-Simple-0.62/lib/Test/Builder.pm

you could use them in conjunction with:

WWW::Mechanize
http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/WWW-Mechanize-1.18/lib/WWW/Mechanize.pm

WWW::Mechanize::CGI
http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/WWW-Mechanize-CGI-0.3/lib/WWW/Mechanize/CGI.pm

I've only used test::more and www:mechanize, they are both excellent modules. Test more is flexable and powerful (IMHO).

You could use LWP as well but personally I find Mechanize to be a better alternative in general.

Hope this helps.

Hey displeaser,

Thanks. Those modules do look quite handy. I hope to find some time to play around with them and eventually create a test suite for my scripts.
