For my current position I wrote a C# program to build basic tests for each page
in an web application. The tests just verify that the page can be instantiated
without error and that the links and images are valid.
The program is pointed to the source directory where the aspx pages reside. It
then iterates through the files and sub directories and for every file with an
aspx extension it builds a testFile.xml file and adds an entry to an
allTests.xml file. The purpose was to build quickly a basic automated test
framework for a legacy app with close to a 100 pages. It didn't seem productive
to code each individually since at the start all the individual test files
would be the same or similar.
Is there interest in this type of tool? If so I'll see about starting a
opensource project and expand it to other web frameworks as well.
