I do get the added-value of having it as a webapp for some but as a developer, I'd rather use Tarantula in my test suite. Hunts down 404s, 500s but can also do HTML validation, check against common attacks (CSRF, XSS, etc.)

- sirrocco 17y agonice, didn't know about that one.
- timanglade 17y agoThen you probably also want to hear about SpiderTest. http://github.com/courtenay/spider_test http://github.com/courtenay/spider_test It's more of a strict crawler but also runs prototype's Ajax.updater javascript calls — which can help hunt down AJAX-only actions that cause 404s or 500s.
- simplegeek 17y agoNice, thanks for sharing. Do you any similar Python software?
- timanglade 17y agoNope, not out of the top of my head. Though designed for Rails or Rack-based platforms, Tarantula doesn't seem to be too heavily linked to it. I'm guessing with some minor Ruby work, you can probably run it against any website. It just emulates a browser session and doesn't actually interact with the server-side code, just your front-end HTML.
