Hi,

We have developed a web application, where users can register them for the service.

Now, we wanted to test the application, and moreover have more number of registered users in the application for further development.

Is any tool, available which may fill the registration page and submit the form automatically? We use email address as username to register, and hence we want the tool to use only the email address we supply (may be in a external file...).

Thanks in advance...

Why do you need to tool to do this? Can't you just fill out the form to test it yourslef?

What about finding people to test it for you. Get some friends or co-workers to fill out the forms and see if they work. Search for a tool to automatically fill out the form seems silly.

Even if you did find a tool to fill out this form how would it know what to put into the feilds? My guess is you would have to tell it what to put in there anyway.

re: Web Application Testing Tool:- Sugesst


there are some tools out there that can be used for this purpose ... in case this is a part of a bigger application it is essential for quality assurance that there are testcases and automated tests that ensure that the application is not broken ... a professional tool is IBM Rational Functional Tester or a free one is the Selenium IDE (FF extension) ... you should know whether it is worth to use a tool or as Stang02GT suggested ... just manual testing. in large application-environments often there is no (shouldn't be) a way around automated tests ... they are a must. but for smaller projects sometimes its just easier to 'quick-write' a testmodule that tests what you need for a specific case ...

kind regards
