Hi,
first thing to say here is that i t's a great thing, what the apache foundation does !
After this compliment, i want to know if there is a posibility to automate the testing phase of a web based application. Here is what I wan't to do
A test application reads a file with URL's These URL's contains parameter wich the servlets need to create an respons. The URL's must be send to the web-server with Tomcat. In the Servlet there is for test purposes a facility to send cookies back with the response.
Is there a program which can automatically transmit several requests with a time delay in URL format to a given Server. The response will be analysed by hand.
The "Watchdog" test suite (package "jakarta-watchdog" on the Jakarta web site) contains compatibility tests that can be used to test the spec conformance of a servlet or JSP engine. It uses an automated test harness that does a lot of the things you describe. The basic idea is that you write client code chunks that submit a request, and then inspect the response. The harness has tools for automatically comparing responses with the desired values. You might find this a useful basis for your work.
