Topic: Under Construction--a Web App Smoke Test System with Java 8

If your destiny is, like mine, tied to the delivery of killer applications, the sitetest epic is going to be relevant to you.

How to Work with This Code

  • The class TargetList contains a list of the webpages that are going to be scanned. It currently points to my webpages. Update this to scan your webpages.
  • To create a custom test, try cloning the ScriptLink class. Update its run() method to put in custom test logic. Note that the test will need to be added to TargetList in a couple of places, just search on VersionSlug and clone the references.
