TestGen4Web::Runner

From http://developer.spikesource.com/projects/testgen4web :

"TestGen4Web is written to ease the pain of writing tests for web applications. This is a 2 part tool. Firefox extension, which records user input to a xml file. Translator script: to generate automated test scripts."

This module fits in neither the 'recorder' or 'translator' category, instead directly replaying the XML files as generated by the TestGen4Web recorder. This leaves the implementation of the tests to the PERL developer utilizing this module.

This release of the module implements a subset of TestGen4Web's features. The entire feature set will be implemented in a future release.

Another use for this module is to interact and automate with web services only available via HTTP and HTML (commonly called 'screen scraping'). The desired action is recorded in the browser with the TestGen4Web recorder and the resulting XML can be replayed by this module in order to duplicate that action and, for example, retrieve some text.

A working example of this module can be found in the WWW::SMS::IE::iesms module.
