Acceptance Testing Tools

Acceptance testing tools are used 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 it's 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://www.openqa.org/selenium/ - 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.

Overview

This project's goal is to create a "best practices" web application penetration testing framework which users can implement in their own organizations and a "low level" web application penetration testing guide that describes how to find certain issues.

Version 3 of the Testing Guide was released in December 2008 after going through a major upgrade through the OWASP Summer of Code 2008.

History Behind Project The OWASP Testing guide originated in 2003 with Dan Cuthbert as one of the original editors. It was handed over to Eoin Keary in 2005 and moved onto the new OWASP wiki when it came online. Being in a wiki is easier for people to contribute and has made updating much easier. Matteo Meucci took on the Testing guide after Eoin and shepherded it through the version 2 and version 3 updates, which have been significant improvements.
