How do you use that with a web application that is a work in progress, though?
I write mod_perl modules that output html forms. One has to write a test that
sends requests and compares the responses with an expected result. But that
result changes every time I make the slightest change in code, which happens
quite often and in multiple places. So maintaining the test suite on top of the
code base seems appealing in theory, but I found it overwhelming in practice.
I can see it happening for a well matured app that changes rarely, but for a
new one?
