NAME

       Webinject - Perl Module for testing web services

SYNOPSIS

	   use Webinject;
	   my $webinject = Webinject->new();
	   $webinject->engine();

DESCRIPTION

       WebInject is a free tool for automated testing of web applications and web services. It can be used to test individual system components
       that have HTTP interfaces (JSP, ASP, CGI, PHP, AJAX, Servlets, HTML Forms, XML/SOAP Web Services, REST, etc), and can be used as a test
       harness to create a suite of [HTTP level] automated functional, acceptance, and regression tests. A test harness allows you to run many
       test cases and collect/report your results.  WebInject offers real-time results display and may also be used for monitoring system response
       times.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new ( [ARGS] )
       Creates an "Webinject" object.

       reporttype
	   possible values are 'standard', 'nagios', 'nagios2', 'mrtg' or 'external:'

       nooutput
	   suppress all output to STDOUT, create only logilfes

       break_on_errors
	   stop after the first testcase fails, otherwise Webinject would go on and execute all tests regardless of the previous case.

       timeout
	   Default timeout is 180seconds. Timeout starts again for every testcase.

       useragent
	   Set the useragent used in HTTP requests. Default is 'Webinject'.

       max_redirect
	   Set maximum number of HTTP redirects. Default is 0.

       proxy
	   Sets a proxy which is then used for http and https requests.

       output_dir
	   Output directory where all logfiles will go to. Defaults to current directory.

       globalhttplog
	   Can be 'yes' or 'onfail'. Will log the http request and response to a http.log file.

       httpauth
	   Provides credentials for webserver authentications. The format is:

	     ['servername', 'portnumber', 'realm-name', 'username', 'password']

       baseurl
	   the value can be used as {BASEURL} in the test cases

       baseurl1
	   the value can be used as {BASEURL1} in the test cases

       baseurl2
	   the value can be used as {BASEURL2} in the test cases

       standaloneplot
	   can be "on" or "off". Default is off.  Create gnuplot graphs when enabled.

       graphtype
	   Defaults to 'lines'

       gnuplot
	   Defines the path to your gnuplot binary.

METHODS

   engine
       start the engine of webinject

EXAMPLES

   example test case
	 <testcases>
	   <case
	     id 	    = "1"
	     description1   = "Sample Test Case"
	     method	    = "get"
	     url	    = "{BASEURL}/test.jsp"
	     verifypositive = "All tests succeded"
	     warning	    = "5"
	     critical	    = "15"
	     label	    = "testpage"
	     errormessage   = "got error: {PARSERESPONSE}"
	   />
	 </testcases>

       detailed description about the syntax of testcases can be found on the Webinject homepage.

NAME

       Test::NeedsDisplay - Ensure that tests needing a display have one

SYNOPSIS

       In your Makefile.PL...

	 use inc::Module::Install;
	 # ... or whatever else you use

	 # Check for a display
	 use Test::NeedsDisplay;

	 # ... your Makefile.PL content as normal

       And again in each test script that loads Wx

	 #!/usr/bin/perl

	 use strict;

	 use Test::NeedsDisplay;

	 # Test content as normal...

DESCRIPTION

       When testing GUI applications, sometimes applications or modules absolutely insist on a display, even just to load a module without
       actually showing any objects.

       Regardless, this makes GUI applications pretty much impossible to build and test on headless or automated systems. And it fails to the
       point of not even running the Makefile.PL script because a dependency needs a display so it can be loaded to find a version.

       In these situations, what is needed is a fake display.

       The "Test::NeedsDisplay" module will search around and try to find a way to load some sort of display that can be used for the testing.

   Strategies for Finding a Display
       At this time, only a single method is used (and a very simple one).

       Debian Linux has a script called "xvfb-run" which is a wrapper for the "xvfb", a virtual X server which uses the linux frame buffer.

       When loaded without a viable display, the module will re-exec the same script using something like (for example) "xvfb-run test.t".

       As such, it should be loaded as early as possible, before anything has a chance to change script parameters. These params will be resent
       through to the script again.

METHODS

       There are no methods. You simply use the module as early as possible, probably right after "use strict;" and make sure to load it with only
       default params.

       Specifically, need must always load it before you set the test plan, otherwise the test script will report two plans, and the harness will
       complain about it and die.

	 # Use it like this ...
	 use Test::NeedsDisplay;

	 # ... not like this ...
	 use Test::NeedsDisplay 'anything';

	 # ... and not like this.
	 use Test::NeedsDisplay ();

       And that's all there is to do. The module will take care of the rest.

TO DO

       - Find alternative ways to launch a display on different platforms
