Open Source Perl Software Testing Tools

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

Tools, information, and practices for creating and operating dependable, complex, distributed, software-intensive systems. * Sense - Measure - Analyze - Respond - Optimize * Keywords: Performance Co-Pilot - PCP - PCPMon - Rjobd

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Performs basic checks on shell scripts for the presence of non portable syntax.

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.

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

Database and csv files comparison tool

Skavenger analyzes HTTP traffic logged by various Web proxies (including WebScarab and Burp) for indications of common web vulnerabilities such as XSS, CRLF injection and various kinds of information disclosure.

ABTestingGateway is a tool developed by China's National Security Research Institute (CNSRE) to identify and bypass network-level A/B testing and gateway behavior often used in censorship systems. It performs dynamic analysis and comparison of network paths to detect content filtering and manipulation strategies employed by intermediate network devices.

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.

audit-test is a test suite designed to provide automated testing for the light-weight audit framework that first appeared in the 2.6.4 kernel. It has been used regularly since RHEL4 and has most recently been updated for RHEL6.3 and SLES11. The test suite now covers functionality beyond audit and includes the automated tests required for the BSI OSPP, including labeled security and virtualization.

Tools for automated testing software for MacOS X. Currently it has UI automation, and Screen Capture/Compare perl modules.

Automated Test Framework (ATF) is a functional test framework built on top of the existing Perl test harness. Currently it provides a simple interface for running tests in command line/shell environments on local and remote test target systems. The overall goal is to provide a simplified domain specific embedded language for testing. This is being published primarily to accompany a presentation on a test framework being used for verification of various firmware components that must operate together.

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.

The Collaborative Testing System (CTS) tests parallel software using various implementations of MPI. It works on multiple platforms and supports batch systems including LSF, LCRM and workstations without a batch system. It includes a numerical diff tool.

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.
