Enhance reportSite with an option to prevent traversing of unwanted websites
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WT-441
URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-441
Project: WebTest
Type: New Feature
Versions: Future versions
Environment: XP Pro
Reporter: Robert Calder
Currently, reportSite will traverse through all links from the starting page
down to the requested depth. However, real-world web sites have varying levels
of depth and links to various external sites (advertising, partners, whatever).
These external sites may violate what a particular webTest is verifying on the
site under test. It also makes the test run slower since we are wasting time
evaluating things we might not care about.
This is obviously not desirable; the option to restrict reportSite to the site
under test would alleviate such issues.
One suggestion for implementation: add the ability to specify a regular
expression which can filter which sites should or should not be visited.
