a brochure about XTest (PDF) can be found here
Almost all applications nowadays use Internet and XML-related technologies. Using automated testing is quite important to control the quality. However, it can be problematic to test these applications at the right level. Using module level testing tools like jUnit has become commonplace fortunately, but often the most important functions to test are on a higher level. Using testing tools for these interfaces can be complex and costly.
XTest was created for this purpose.
  • a simple standalone Windows application
  • uses an XML test script (see example)
  • fetches XML or HTML pages from disk or the Internet
  • executes a series of XPath assertions
  • writes the results in a readable HTML report (see example)
