NAME
Test::WWW::Simple - Test Web applications using TAP
SYNOPSIS
use Test::WWW::Simple;
# This is the default user agent.
user_agent('Windows IE 6');
page_like("http://yahoo.com", qr/.../, "check for expected text");
page_unlike("http://my.yahoo.com", qr/.../, "check for undesirable text");
user_agent('Mac Safari');
...DESCRIPTION
Test::WWW::Simple is a very basic class for testing Web applications and Web pages. It uses WWW::Mechanize to fetch pages, and Test::Builder to implement TAP (Test Anything Protocol) for the actual testing.
Since we use Test::Builder for the like and unlike routines, these can be integrated with the other standard Test::Builder-based modules as just more tests.
SEE ALSO
WWW::Mechanize for a description of how the simulated browser works; Test::Builder to see how a test module works.
You may also want to look at Test::WWW::Mechanize if you want to write more precise tests ("is the title of this page like the pattern?" or "are all the page links ok?").
The simlpe_scan utility provided with this module demonstrates a possible use of Test::WWW::Simple; do a perldoc simple_scan for details on this program.
