Hi,
I've been using webtest for a day and have been quite impressed. It is very easy to learn and use. Everyone on my team who I've shown it to has liked it.
I'm able to successfully run tests, but other than watching the console for results, I'm not sure how to know the test has failed. I'd like to have nicely formatted HTML that will be available on my build server (similar to how junit tests can be transformed via XSLT). I've seen a few passing mentions on the webtest website indicating this is possible, but no examples of how to do it. Can anyone offer help? My first problem is that I don't even get an xml output file with test results. My next problem is, then what do I use to transform the results?
My second question is on cruise control integration. What is the recommended way to run a suite of webtests via cruise control? I assume there is more to it that simply calling my ant file that defines the tests. Do I have to call the webtest.bat to launch the tests, or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance,
Sean
