An excellent question. Testing in web2py is somewhat of a misnomer since you use web2py to create web applications but you can only truly test the models or controllers, not the product of all three MVC components. However, there isn't really a better way unless Massimo wants to include another external libary (and therefore dependency).
What I use for webpage testing is Selenium. Selenium is a javascript-based scripting/testing engine. However, it has Python modules that you can use to write and invoke tests (which it translates to Javascript and runs.) It even has a cool IDE plugin for Firefox which makes test-making pretty easy. Take a look. http://www.openqa.org/selenium/ -tim morningovermidnight wrote: > I've been reading earlier posts on unittests and using doctests in > web2py.
