Maybe you are also interested in some tool like HTTPUnit(http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/) that simulates a user browsing a Web. It has utilities to interpret the HTML server response, make assertions and even support for embedded JavaScript. So you can program it to test for things like: """ 1 .- Get index.html 2 .- Check no "errors are present" 3 .- Press button "Continue" 4 .- Check list is not empty 5 .- ... """ It works great with apps aware of HTTPUnit that provide it with tags and "hints" to help interpret the result but works fine with non-aware Web apps too. It's uses Java and integrates pretty well with ant. I don't know if there is something equivalent in Python.
