Hi! I am the author of swat - https://github.com/melezhik/swat - perl/curl based DSL for web services test automation. I'd like to contribute in at apache server automated testing. Please take a look at _simple_ example of swat test suite for apache web server - https://sparrowhub.org/info/swat-apache?v=0.000004
Some swat features ( more info could be found at https://github.com/melezhik/swat ) which possibly could be of interested for you: * swat is DSL for rapid test scenarios development for various web services and application * swat is written on Perl and could be extended by Perl if you need something more complicated when DSL is not enough * swat has minimal dependencies ( mostly core perl modules plus few CPAN ones ) and easy to install * swat relies on perl prove as internal test runner and so yield test reports in portable TAP format * swat relies on curl to make http requests against tested application, so there is almost no limit for you - sending, saving cookies, complicated http headers, make html form uploads, etc * swat allow both simple (smoke) tests development and complicated integration tests - with sequential, coupled http requests, saving intermediate state, code reuse, etc. This is classical program API for complex things combined with intuitive simple DSL ( for simple and medium things ) * not only httpd server but other a Apache Foundation products could be tested with swat ( tomcat, ... ) - take a look at https://sparrowhub.org/ - central swat test suite repository to get more examples. I'd be glad to get feedback from you guys. Feel free to ask any further questions. Alexey Melezhik - the author of swat and sparrow.
