Re: Size

[jh_lists]

 I was wondering is this an unusual size? I know the man says size will grow etc... 
but i am looking for others opinions based on there setups and real life vs. text 
book comparison.

That's not normal. Perhaps you have an old libapreq which did not handle
memory well--install the latest Apache::Request from CPAN and see if your
memory usage improves.

If not, we'll need more info: what is the size of the process when
started? ...what kinds of requests cause it to grow? ...how much does it
grow each time? ...what line causes the memory to jump, if any (step
through with Apache::DB watching memory use to test)?

Sources of memory problems include circular references and failure to
clean up resources between requests.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] RoboWeb 1.0b, web application test suite generator

[jh_lists]

 I have developed a semi-automatic test generator for web applications.
 I've called it RoboWeb and it's now available for download from
 sourceforge, hoping that it can be useful to others.
 
Unbelievable... Three days ago I looked for something suitable for
writing test suites and came up a blank, so for the last 3 days I've been
writing WWW::Automate. And now this great looking package appears when
I'm 75% done!

Anyhow, I'll finish what I'm doing over the weekend and release it, since
it has some different functionality to RoboWeb, including finding form
elements to fill in based on their relationship to other elements (e.g.
the text field after the text 'User Name:' or The checkbox in the
table column headed 'Flag', in the 3rd row).

We should investigate how these 2 projects can work together when I'm
done so that RoboWeb 'recorded' sessions can create WWW::Automate methods
that utilise the structure of the page. The benefits of doing this are:
 1- Resultant scripts are easier to interpret
 2- Scripting apps that vary their form field names works.
