Projects

Selenium

Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just as real users do. And they run in Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. No other test tool covers such a wide array of platforms. * Browser compatibility testing. ... [More] Test your application to see if it works correctly on different browsers and operating systems. The same script can run on any Selenium platform. * System functional testing. Create regression tests to verify application functionality and user acceptance. [Less]

SCons - a Software Construction tool

SCons is a software construction tool (build tool substitute for Make) implemented in Python. It features a modular build engine that can be embedded in other software. SCons configuration files are Python scripts that call the build engine API. It can scan files to detect dependencies automatically ... [More] and maintain a global view of all dependencies in a build tree, and uses MD5 signatures to detect changed file contents reliably. Timestamps can be used if you prefer. SCons also supports parallel builds and is easily extensible through user-defined builder and scanner objects. [Less]

zc.buildout

The Buildout project provides support for creating applications, especially Python applications. It provides tools for assembling applications from multiple parts, Python or otherwise. An application may actually contain multiple programs, processes, and configuration settings. The word ... [More] "buildout" refers to a description of a set of parts and the software to create and assemble them. It is often used informally to refer to an installed system based on a buildout definition. For example, if we are creating an application named "Foo", then "the Foo buildout" is the collection of configuration and application-specific software that allows an instance of the application to be created. We may refer to such an instance of the application informally as "a Foo buildout". [Less]

Waf

Waf is a general-purpose build system which was modelled from Scons. Though it comes last in the arena of the build systems, we believe that Waf is a vastly superior alternative to its competitors (Autotools, Scons, Cmake, Ant, etc) for building software, and especially for open-source projects: ... [More] * Waf depends on Python only which is ported on most platforms * Waf scripts are Python modules which are easier to learn and to maintain that custom languages * Waf license has very little constraints (BSD) and can be redistributed easily (all in one 100kb script) * Waf architecture is modular and can be extended easily, it relies on state-of-the-art algorithms * Waf provides many more features than its competitors * Waf provides many small projects and code snippets [Less]

Bcfg2

Bcfg2 helps system administrators produce a consistent, reproducible, and verifiable description of their environment, and offers visualization and reporting tools to aid in day-to-day administrative tasks.

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple configuration management, deployment, and ad-hoc task execution tool. It supports a wide variety of distributions, requires no software installed on managed machines, and users can get going in minutes. Extension modules can be written in any language.

Windmill

Windmill is an Open Source AJAX Web UI Testing framework that was originally built to automate testing for the Chandler Server Project at OSAF. After spending time with Selenium we realized we had a variety of needs that weren't being fulfilled and built Windmill from the ground up. Windmill ... [More] implements cross browser testing, in-browser recording and playback, and functionality for fast accurate debugging and test environment integration. We are a relatively young project, but as far as we know we already implement a larger set of a browser testability than Selenium. [Less]

Paver

Easy to script Python build and deployment tool that makes the use and configuration of common Python project-related tools very easy.

testfarm

TestFarm is a client-server Python application that allows you to monitor the stability and efficiency of a development project by performing continuous builds and tests on multiple platforms. The overall idea is based on Mozilla Tinderbox, or buildbot but with a much simpler approach and sound extensibility mechanisms.

mechanize (Python)

Stateful programmatic web browsing in Python, after Andy Lester's Perl module WWW::Mechanize.
