** Odysseus is a proxy server, which acts as a man-in-the-middle during an HTTP session. A typical HTTP proxy will relay packets to and from a client browser and a web server. It will intercept an HTTP session's data in either direction.

Acceptance Testing Tools

Acceptance testing tools are used to validate the functionality of web applications. Some follow a scripted approach and typically make use of a Unit Testing framework to construct test suites and test cases. Most, if not all, can be adapted to perform security specific tests in addition to functional tests.

Open Source Tools

  • WATIR - http://wtr.rubyforge.org
    • A Ruby based web testing framework that provides an interface into Internet Explorer.
    • Windows only.
  • HtmlUnit - http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net
    • A Java and JUnit based framework that uses the Apache HttpClient as the transport.
    • Very robust and configurable and is used as the engine for a number of other testing tools.
  • jWebUnit - http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net
    • A Java based meta-framework that uses htmlunit or selenium as the testing engine.
  • Canoo Webtest - http://webtest.canoo.com
    • An XML based testing tool that provides a facade on top of htmlunit.
    • No coding is necessary as the tests are completely specified in XML.
    • There is the option of scripting some elements in Groovy if XML does not suffice.
    • Very actively maintained.
  • HttpUnit - http://httpunit.sourceforge.net
    • One of the first web testing frameworks, suffers from using the native JDK provided HTTP transport, which can be a bit limiting for security testing.
  • Watij - http://watij.com
    • A Java implementation of WATIR.
    • Windows only because it uses IE for its tests (Mozilla integration is in the works).
  • Solex - http://solex.sourceforge.net
    • An Eclipse plugin that provides a graphical tool to record HTTP sessions and make assertions based on the results.
  • Selenium - http://seleniumhq.org/
    • JavaScript based testing framework, cross-platform and provides a GUI for creating tests.
    • Mature and popular tool, but the use of JavaScript could hamper certain security tests.
