what tools would you recommend to test web-based applications?
I need a tool that tests my online-store, browses it, tests orders and it would be nice if it can analyze my logfile(but that would not be necessary)what tools can i use and where do i get them? ------------------

I always recommend Rational Tools, but that doesn't mean that is always the best fit.  Go to the Automated Testing forum - look at the FAQ, there are links upon link about tool prefreences, selection processes, etc. You'll find more information than you could have hoped for. ------------------

Use XP's httpunit. You can fill in the order, and submit the form. Then you can use the java code to analyze the code.After you are done, then you can use a random/sequnce generator and excute the tests using the jperfunit to do multi-user/threading tests. It's free and will do 90% of what you want. Iggy ------------------

For tools that can simulate user input into a web application and validate images, etc. you need something like Rational Robot, QuickTest or SilkTest (very pricey, but good). If you cannot afford those tools look at (e.g.) eValid or Macrobot (mid-price). You could also try TestSmith - if you want the added risk factor of using a free beta tool  .
Simply search Google/Yahoo/etc. by tool name to locate the vendors of these tools.------------------

check out OpenSTA (portal.opensta.org). It is a free open-source web testing tool that is as good (or better) than the commercial tools out there. .. also there is an OpenSTA forum on QAForums if u need help.-Corey www.test-tools.net ------------------

While not *free*, you really should look
into the eValid browser based solution.
See www.e-valid.com or send me email
(miller@soft.com). eValid tests websites
entirely from the user perspective, which,
naturally, is the right way to do it!------------------

Hi,OpenSTA is a good tool but if your web site is compressed, it won't be possible to test it correctly with OpenSTA (especially if you have dynamic url or link).
It's the reason why I use QuotiumPRO (professional version of OpenSTA for these type of application). Suzor
