Based on Padre I would like to add all kinds of tools that will make
it easy to generate test scripts without knowing any programming.
Some kind of GUI to record/replay test cases that can later be extended using perl.
Areas to cover
Perl has tons of modules on CPAN that can be used to access various external system and thus to test them. As a start we would like to provide GUI elements to make the startup of this testing easy.- Net::Telnet - record/replay a telnet session, generate telnet script?
- SSH - record/replay ssh session
- WWW::Mechanize, Selenium - web automation
- Win32::GuiTest - Windows GUI automation
Existing Padre plugins
They are all in very early development stage- Padre::Pluging::GUITest
- Padre::Plugin::HTTPRecordReplay ??
