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!
