[TIP] TextTest 3.17 : blackbox testing with a Python slant

[Geoff Bache]

Hi all,

There's a new version of the black-box test tool TextTest out.

There are various enhancements, notably:
 - The HTML report now generates graphs of the results over time if
you install the "matplotlib" library
 - The static GUI "Selection tab" is now available in the dynamic
GUI also, with some new options relevant there also
 - The traffic-interception mechanism can now intercept interaction
with specified Python modules,
essentially acting as an automatic mock generator.
 - Can now set a timeout after which tests will automatically be killed.
 - You can now produce Junit-format reports for display by
continuous integration servers like Hudson.

and many bugfixes and other improvements. See the mailing list for more
details.

Regards,
Geoff Bache

TextTest is a tool for automatic text-based functional testing. This
means running a batch-mode executable in lots of different ways from
the command line, and using the text output produced as a means of
controlling the behavior of that application. As well as being usable
"standalone", it is an extendable framework for black-box testing
written in Python.
