I write mod_perl modules that output html forms. One has to write a test that sends requests and compares the responses with an expected result. But that result changes every time I make the slightest change in code, which happens quite often and in multiple places. So maintaining the test suite on top of the code base seems appealing in theory, but I found it overwhelming in practice. I can see it happening for a well matured app that changes rarely, but for a new one? -- Regards, Vincent Veyron https://libremen.com/ Legal case, contract and insurance claim management software
