Hi, folks. This is a library I've had for years and years, but I'm just now getting around to releasing it publicly. My thanks to the current users for prodding me into this. I've been a little hesitant to release this, as it is based on HttpUnit, which is stagnant. Still, it keeps ending up being useful for me and others, so I'm going to put it out and see what happens. In brief, WebRobot lets you automate interactions with other web sites in a way that matches how people talk about web interactions. As a user, you don't think about requests and responses; you go places, click on things, and look at the results. My main intended use for this is acceptance testing. Those tests need to be readable to not-so-technical people, and I think WebRobot does that reasonably well. But it's not entirely focused on testing, and I've used it to build various bots and crawlers as well. I'm a feedback-driven guy, so please do post your comments in the forums or send them to me in email. William
