[Webtest] possible renaming/refactoring

[Eric Pugh]

I'll +1 the <webtest/> name as well..  I think that better defines what
it is.  I worked with a non technical guy teaching him about webtest,
and the testSpecification kinda confused him.  He thought it should
define some sort of reusable "specification" that was used over and
over, versus an actual test.

Hi Paul,

Yes, names are a little bit confusing here.

Actually, I thought of a renaming such that
<testSpec ...
could be
<webtest ...
(and having both mappings in the taskdef for backward compatibility).

Your suggested renamings are ok for me. Thanks for asking.

I even feel that TestSpec could be changed to a more expressive name.
What is a TestSpec about:
- holding configuration and steps
- open a user session
- stop executing further steps, when a step fails

I wish my english would be better to find a name for such a beast.

cheers
Mittie
