The 0.5.3-rc1 version of Solex [1], the open source Web application testing tool built as a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, is now available.
Based on a built-in Web proxy and a concept of extraction, replacement and assertion rules, Solex provides functions to record a client session, adjust it according to various parameters and replay it. This is typically done in order to ensure the non-regression of a Web application's behaviour.
This version of Solex contains several enhancements and bug fixes, such as:
- Fully Eclipse 3.1.1 compliant.
- Internally uses Jakarta HTTPClient 3.0 final.
- Complete rework of the handling of multi-parts bodies.
- Fixed URL parsing failing on complex URLs.
- Edit button in the constants dialog window.
- Fixed handling of headers.
- Possible deadlock during recording fixed.
- SSL support during playback (see Preferences to enable it).
- Improved handling of the CONNECT HTTP method.
- The POST method should now work under all circumstances.
- Now use Commons Logging library.
- Javadoc improvements.
