Functional test suite runner
Project description
Flunc: a functional test suite runner for web applications.
Installation
We recommend installing into a Virtualenv.
You should be able to install flunc by using easy_install flunc; or you can download the tarball, extract, and run python setup.py develop.
Writing tests
Flunc tests are Twill scripts.
There is a firefox extension that allows you to record tests directly from within your browser. To install, visit
These tests are saved in an xml format. You can convert these tests into a twill script by executing
testgentotwill recorded.html > twillscript.twill
Of course, you can still write tests manually.
Running tests
Run flunc --help for details on running the functional tests.
By default flunc will search ./ftests/ to find tests. You can change this with the -p (--path) option.
Some examples:
flunc all
runs all tests listed in all.tsuite against http://localhost/
flunc -t http://localhost:8080/some_portal all
runs all tests listed in all.tsuite against localhost:8080/some_portal
flunc -c all create_user
runs create_user.twill using all.conf
flunc -c all create_user login create_project destroy_project destroy_user
specify an ad hoc suite creating and tearing down a user and project on default host
Finding tests
Individual tests are contained in
<test>.twill
A suite of tests are contained in
<suite>.tsuite
Suite configurations are contained in
