Depends on what you are after.

HttpUnit and HtmlUnit will both allow you to create programmatic tests
against a deployed application.  They are logically combined with JUnit to
automate them as tests and provide assertions.  Both of these are open
source and free, but require a developer to create the tests.  It sounds
like you might be looking for a commercial solution that uses test scripts?

There are also some opensource extensions of HttpUnit:

 Web Application Testing Framwork (watf) at http://watf.sourceforge.net/
(main deal seems to be adding javascript support, but HttpUnit is in
process adding that itself) and

recently one we developed within our company and put up on sourceforge
under open source license:  jWebUnit http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/.
This guy basically just provides a very simple, flatter API than HttpUnit
and combines it with JUnit for you (provides web-testing specific
assertions).  Also is made to get its expecteds from resource bundles
(Struts property files).

Hey All,

I was hoping that someone of the list would be able to help me out. Our
company currently uses JUnit to perform automated tests on the back end of
our sites, and was wondering if something similar existed for doing tests
on
the front end. I have looked into httpunit but that doesn't seem to be able
to adequately do what we are after, or provide further benefit than
performing JUnit tests on our actions?

If anyone has any tried suggestions I would be most appreciative.

Thanks in advance,
Sean
