8.1. Hacks 7985: Introduction

Application testingand squeezing that testing into what are almost always strenuous development cycleshas been a hot topic in recent years. This chapter starts with unit tests, which test an application's individual functions and classes.

You'll code up robots that make HTTP requests to a server and tests that use Internet Explorer automation for checking a web interface for problems.
