Inspired by the popular web-application testing framework WATIR, we bring you a testing tool that allows you to create simple, automated tests that communicate with and control one or more running CDP applications through the Web Interface. Any manual tests that can be done through the Web Interface of CDP lend themselves to automation with this framework.
ACTIR consists of a series of Ruby libraries that help set up and start CDP applications, connect to the web interface and provide control of the running CDP application through XML. With the Ruby scripting language at the base, you will have access to a plethora of modules to create elaborate tests, including REXML, WATIR, SQLite3, networking and much more.
Since ACTIR is a high-level, black-box testing framework, it provides a good supplement to CDPUnit and other low-level white-box unit testing frameworks, for a wider coverage of the testing spectrum.
