[Mono-devel-list] Contributing Mainsoft System.Web test suite

[RafaelMizrahi]

Hi Gonzalo,

> Mono.WebServer
Remember that Mainsoft does not use Mono.WebServer, we use Tomcat or other
Application Server, and I prefer that we will choose components that both of
us will use.

I rather postpone this to a secondary phase.

Atsushi can own the XMLDiff/XMLAssert component.

If we want to get things started:
* Our tests already written in VB, is this a problem ?
* You can start creating the NUnit helper classes.
* I will start writing a small "Expected Results Generator" (xml files)
* I will do some cleanups in our web tests helper classes. So we can put
them in SVN.

Moreover, to avoid the need for running xsp externally, we could just
use Mono.WebServer.

Don't we need a POST too? For example, sometimes we might want to
emulate a button pressed...

We need to lobby Atsushi and get a tool similar to that one that works
with mono }:-).
