Does anyone know how I can integrate hobbit with
a test that would check web page logins?
For example, We have a Web Server which connects
to an App. Server which connects to a Database Server.
To test functionality, we login to the Web Server, then enter
data into a form, which stores the information into the database.
This is just a test user account.
I'd like to setup a test that does the same thing and have hobbit
alert us. For example, you can an error logging in, or an error submitting
your data in the form.
I'm doing exactly that with a bunch of scripts I wrote for Big Bother, before switching to Hobbit. I'm using curl to fetch web pages, then grep, awk, or whatever to pick out interesting stuff to make sure the page is correct. Lather, rinse, repeat. Curl handles cookies properly, proxies, authenticating via Basic Auth, etc.
I'm about to go to bed right now, but if you're interested I'll try to get some sample stuff written up when I get to work tonight.
