Another question.
Does anteater support alternative scenarios for test cases.
Something based on the cocoon flow continuations concept.
For example can I write a login step and then continue with two independent
alternative paths. First one will go through one set of pages then the
second. At the end they will both logout. I would be interested in reusing
the login and logout steps, but these two test cases should run
independently of each other.
I would expect Anteater to first login, go through the first path, logout,
then login again, go through the second path, logout.
I think Anteater discussions should be on Cocoon's list, since automated
functional testing is a very key subject and Cocoon doesn't have a better
solution at the moment. Commercial web app testing tools cost tens,
sometimes hundreds of thousands.
Thanks for the help.
