Hi all,

I am looking for some tools to automatically testing web forms.

I specifically need to the the client side JS field validation and proper working, in addition to the final form submit.

Any idea?

For this, we use Cucumber[0] with Capybara[1], Poltergeist[2] and PhantomJS[3].

Thx everyone although the suggested tools seems more for testing automation.

What I need is something like Site24x7, Catchpoint etc. but with the ability to verify the JS validation on form fields.

This is one of the use cases for CasperJS (which in turn relies on PhantomJS)
