Open Source Perl Software Testing Tools

Collectl is a light-weight performance monitoring tool capable of reporting interactively as well as logging to disk. It reports statistics on cpu, disk, infiniband, lustre, memory, network, nfs, process, quadrics, slabs and more in easy to read format.

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

LCOV is an extension of GCOV, a GNU tool that provides information about what parts of a program are actually executed (i.e. "covered") while running a particular test case. The extension consists of a set of Perl scripts that builds on the textual GCOV output to implement the following enhanced functionality,

swaks (Swiss Army Knife for SMTP) is a powerful command-line tool for testing and debugging SMTP servers. It allows users to craft custom SMTP sessions with fine-grained control over headers, authentication, TLS, attachments, and more. swaks is commonly used by sysadmins and developers to diagnose mail delivery problems or test SMTP server configurations.

The openresty-systemtap-toolkit is a collection of SystemTap-based scripts designed for real-time analysis and diagnostics of OpenResty and its core components, including NGINX, LuaJIT, and ngx_lua. It provides developers and system administrators with tools to trace performance bottlenecks, memory usage, request distribution, regex execution, Lua execution, and file I/O behaviors in production systems. The toolkit helps identify leaks, analyze TCP queues, inspect shared memory usage, and generate flame graphs for CPU and off-CPU profiling. Many scripts are specific to NGINX worker and master processes, while others are generic enough to be applied to any Linux user-space process. Although the toolkit is no longer actively maintained—development has shifted to OpenResty XRay—it remains a valuable set of examples and utilities for advanced users of OpenResty and NGINX.

The package 'epyunit' provides extensions for PyUnit and PyDev. * Extensions for PyUnit - Unittests for arbitrary executables. * Extensions for PyDev - Automation of search and load of pydevd.py The extensions are applicable from commandline and/or within Eclipse. Online manuals: - https://pythonhosted.org/epyunit/ PyPi repository: - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/epyunit Current application examples are: - bash-core - http://bash-core.sourceforge.net Nickname - Dromi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dromi

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

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

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.

Cbench is intended as a relatively straightforward toolbox of tests, benchmarks, applications, utilities, and framework to hold them together with the goal to facilitate scalable testing, benchmarking, and analysis of a Linux parallel compute cluster.

QTest is a perl-based test framework for testing programs written in any language. It supports a "design for testability" mentality, user-defined test coverage, filters, and multithreading support. Includes documentation.

A system for testing open source applications. Allows uploading or scheduling retrieval of software and its dependencies, and running different kinds of tests on it.

"Yet Another Do-It-Yourself (Test) Automation Framework" specification. Use or modify one of the existing software implementations (hosted/referenced here), or implement the framework yourself. Download and read the spec for more details.

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.

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.

httest is a script based tool for testing and benchmarking web applications, web servers, proxy servers and web browsers. httest can emulate clients and servers in the same test script, very useful for testing proxys.

Collection of Open Source and free tools to be used for HP ALM administration, customization, and also end-user usage. This is a community effort. Feel free to use, share and contribute back!

A testcase management, logging, reporting and test automation tool, similar to the commercial product Test Director. Features: Progress stats, reports, test case import from CSV,doc,web or SQL, STAF plugin. SQL database. Speeds QA and software testing

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

A toy Perl/Tk program that allows to have other Perl programs installed on it, basically a mini OS. It has a Start menu and a Desktop to open the programs. More features on the way!

This project has been set up to unify perl unit testing frameworks for use in Extreme Programming. See also http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PerlUnit

This command-line tool will help people who want to compare 2 csv-like files, and get a detailed report on which rows and fields differ between both files. An awk-based version and Perl Version is currently available.

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.

XAMPLE creates a separate, encrypted and independent LAMP environment on a system that does or does not already run a web server and database. It is useful to provide a customized environment for software refusing to work with the installed LAMP stack.

Foo Test is a small, fast C-function unit testing project. It is capable of both benchmarking and validating C-functions while writing most of the test code through an easy perl script, and all the developer needed code can be added to a single file.
