Open Source Perl QA Automation Software

Codestriker is a web application supporting online code reviewing, typically diffs generated by a Source Code Management system or plain unidiff patches. There are integration points with CVS, Subversion, Clearcase, Perforce and Visual SourceSafe.

Given YACC-like and LEX-like input files, yagg generates a C++ program that generates all strings of a user-specified length. yagg is easy to use, and provides a means of generating test inputs or validating a parser grammar by inspecting the strings.

WebInject is a tool for automated testing of web applications and web services. It can be used to test system components with HTTP interfaces, as a test harness to create a suite of functional and regression tests, or for service-level monitoring.

Pith ("Perl-Implemented Test Harness") is a lightweight, application-independent framework for building and executing functional integration tests. It allows the test code to exist wholly independently from the testing platform.

SLOCCount is an easy-to-use tool that counts Source Lines of Code (SLOC). It auto-determines the language(s) (inc. C, C++, Ada, Assembly, shell, COBOL, C#, Fortran, Haskell, Java, LISP/Scheme, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL). It also estimates cost & time.

csvdiff is a Perl script to diff/compare two csv files with the possibility to select the separator. Differences will be shown like: "Column XYZ in record 999" is different. After this, the actual and the expected result for this column will be shown.

Tidyview is a Perl/Tk application to preview the effect of perltidy options on your source code. Perltidy is extremely flexible, but the flip-side of this is that is can be difficult to check the effect of options in combination - using Tidyview can help.

PHP Project Navigator is a web based source browser for PHP. Its parser uses the same YACC grammar as the Zend Engine 2 so it recognizes PHP 5 syntax and inline documentation blocks. Symbols are stored in a database which is queried via a web based GUI

X11::GUITest, is a Perl package, used for controlling applications by means of user emulation. This can be used to interact (SendKeys, ClickMouseButton, FindWindowLike, etc.) with applications running under an X Windows environment. Including applications built (GTK+, Qt, Motif, etc.) upon X11 / Xlib. You may find that this mechanism is easier to use then that provided by xautomation or xdotool.

A Perl-based benchmarking and load testing suite, with backend written in C. Based on apachebench, but extended with much more functionality. Currently released on CPAN as HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench.

BogoSec is a utility that calculates source code security quality metrics. A flexible framework interprets the results of existing scanners to compute these metrics. BogoSec is useful to track security quality across releases and competing packages.

Parsing, interpreting, checking and profiling C application (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E))

CQSAT is a powerful, comprehensive and extensible framework for static analysis of program source code and detection of software defects.

Automation of Unit and System Tests. Tests can be implemented in any language and on many platforms. The flexible approach enables the inclusion of many types of tests, such as memory leak checks (using valgrind), coding rule checks, complexity checks, etc. Tests are run by a simple call to hwut in a base directory of a project. In particular for C, HWUT supports make file generation using 'sos' and 'sols' modes. Remote control-able function stubs may be generated using the 'stub' mode. Test cases can be generated using the 'gen' mode, and state machine walkers by the 'sm_walker' mode. Over the last decade HWUT has matured towards a full fledged unit test tool for a wide variety of applications.

This is a code quality diagnostic tool. It can output many stats helping to assess the readability, reusability of source. Its design allows easy implementation of new analysis component. Screenshots avalaible !

A subset of the TestCon project, ConAn builds on Roast to provide a testing framework for concurrent Java components. For more details on the development of ConAn and TestCon/Crom, see http://longbrothers.net/brad/papers/thesis.pdf

DBFeeder is a great tool to generate synthetic testdata for Oracle Databases and it is ideal for companies who wants to outsource development. Thanks to his original approach, data can be highly customizable and it even fits primary and foreign keys constraints of tables.

Flamebox is a rewrite and extension of the Mozilla Tinderbox project. It provides the ability to execute build and testing tasks, and display and analyse task output in a controlled, continuous fashion on multiple platforms and hosts simultaneously.

HAMSTA solves the need of distributing different local test (automation) frameworks (like STAF,LTP etc.), with their integrated tests, towards extending the coverage of tested hardware configurations in a distributed and large scale computing environment

A comprehensive incident reporting system incorporating time tracking, multiple projects, holidays, purchasing, reports and many other aspects of running a business. Developed and heavily used by ECONZ over many years, it is a well-proven system.

Publish your junit test report in pdf format. Plug and Play integration. Home page: http://junitpdfreport.sourceforge.net/

Database and csv files comparison tool

A Perl script that, given the output of the Firefox extension Live HTTP Headers, will replay the script using Test::WWW::Mechanize.

Software written in Perl to monitor CPU load more effectively than top in batch mode, or a glance at load avg. Stores data in a mysql database (if you want) and provides a number of 'front ends' allowing you to pull graphs or spreadsheets out of the db.

Metatest is an integration and load testing framework. It's designed to run different test engines, run tests in serial or parallel, retarget tests (e.g. test DEV, then test UAT), vary test load, support continuous integration, and more!
