Features
- Advanced HTTP protocol handling, including ne-grained timeout handling, request and response validation.
- Simulating clients and servers, including startup and shutdown of server daemons. This allows to create mock-ups of back-end systems in more complex test situations, for example when the tested application needs to interact with a 3rd-party back-end system which is not available in the testing environment.
- Execution of external commandline tools, using their output as request or response data, or for validation purposes.
- Copying stream data (e.g. from a response) and re-using it in variables.
- Various functions for url encoding, base64 encoding, math operations and many more.
- Additional protocols like POP3, SMTP, websockets and NTLM can be tested with httest.
- Language bindings to lua and javascript
- Advanced performance testing support
