Hi!

I'm new to Webtest and I wonder if I can use it to crawl parts of my site to do some basic testing on all of the important pages.

I'd like to check if the XHTML is well-formed or even valid because some areas are editable by people in the marketing department and they don't care for code quality. Also I need to check the existence of follow/index meta tags for lots of pages. Can I use Webtest for that?

I found reportSite in the docs (actually it's rather mentioned than documented). It doesn't work as I expected. There are a few posts on this list about reportSite but unfortunately no helpful answers.

I tried a step like this

    <invoke url="http://www.${wt.config.base}/"; />
    <reportSite depth="1">
        <verifyTitle text=".*100.*" regex="true" />
    </reportSite>

and get lots of success und failures, too, for verifyTitle but the whole test succeeds (it shouldn't). Also all pages that are stored for the errors in the reports are the home page. I don't see why some steps fail and some don't if only the home page is tested.

Maybe this message is confusing, I'm also confused.

Thanks very much for helping!

Martin
