PesterCat : Web Application Testing
PesterCat is a web testing tool that was designed to perform functional
testing for web applications. PesterCat features an integrated proxy
recorder that enables you to record scripts using your favorite web
browser. A configurable replacement rules and filtering engine make
it possible to insert parameters and filter out unwanted requests while
recording.
PesterCat runs on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows. It is a great tool to
aid in website development and testing!
Key Features Include:
- Recording and playback of HTTP web requests.
- XML script format.
- Replacement rules and filters help record scripts.
- HTTP response validations using XPath and regular expressions.
- SQL based database validations using pluggable JDBC drivers.
