Zope:
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zope.testbrowser/3.4.2
Browser-centric (vs. application-centric)
Slightly verbose
Works over HTTP (WSGI with wsgi_intercept)
Has forms, etc (Mechanize)
Next best (after WebTest)
Django:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/testing/
Reasonably system
Slightly verbose
Works over Django request system (not WSGI)
Slightly leaky
No forms
CherryPy/TurboGears 1:
http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Testing#testing-your-view
Very leaky!
Tests happen via side effects
Global objects everywhere
Can call directly into controllers
No forms
Rails:
http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/28
Call directly into controller
Actually instantiate the controller in your tests
The main functionality is in a TestCase subclass
Has some XML/HTML inspection
Vigorous debate on best practice:
http://www.anarchogeek.com/articles/2007/9/16/rails-where-the-boundries-are-pushed
This is not a good thing
Mocks all over the place :(
----
Twill:
http://twill.idyll.org/
Works over HTTP (WSGI with wsgi_intercept)
Lots of form support (Mechanize)
Simple-looking tests
Not a complete language
Selenium:
http://www.openqa.org/selenium/
Works in a browser
Awkward language
Recorders exist
Satisfying to watch run
Windmill:
http://windmill.osafoundation.org/
Like a mix of Twill and Selenium?
Uses a browser IDE like Selenium
Fancy Javascript recorder?
Experimental command-line
Browser can report back to code, like the (confusing) "drive" mode
in Selenium
