I have an interest in WebUnit, but I notice its last code drop is a few
years old. Then I notice that using it on Linux causes some irritations. I
can report them if asked, but in general I'm interested to hear if WebUnit
is still being maintained.
To compare the question to other web test tools, WebUnit is not Watir just
as HttpUnit is not Samie. Watir drives Internet Explorer by its Automation
model. WebUnit, like HttpUnit, simply works HTTP and simulates a browser. It
makes the server think it's being browsed, while WebUnit bypasses the
expense of Automation and delivers raw data to your test cases. So an
advanced web project should use both kinds of testing (and more) in a rich
client-side experience. Such as >cough< AJAX.
