Resolved Question

Tools for testing websites?
Are there any automated testing tools that I can use to test websites?

I want a tool where I can just give it the front page and it runs some basic tests on each page of the website.

  • Depends what you want to test.

    If it's to check flash/javascript enabled or to check the site with different resolutions with different browsers on different OS's then I would use Browser Cam

    Look into Selenium (http://seleniumhq.org/). It is an open source project that allows you to create and save tests in your browser. There is a plugin for Firefox you can use to create the tests. It records them and then you can save them as HTML, python, Java, JavaScript, etc. If you save them as HTML, you can replay them in the same plugin to perform your testing. You can create several tests (one for each page) and hook them together as a suite and run the entire suite as 1 test.

  • http://validator.w3.org/ will test the markup - html/xhtml and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ will test your stylesheet - css. you can also use http://www.contentquality.com/ to check accessibility. if you pass all 3 test you've done a pretty good job.
