I need a tool to monitor my web applications. The problem is that these applications may crash after logging in due to lack of memory or database problems, but the main page of a website is usually beautiful. Therefore, simple tests that simply access the same URL will not detect the problem.
Well-known free hosting solutions are not suitable for me, because I need to log in to each site using a username and password, and I cannot make this information available to anyone outside the company.
The tool should do the following:
- follow several steps, such as login, performing a simple request, logging out
- check HTTP response with simple regex
- should work with both http and https
- works on linux
There are several functional testing tools that could do the work, for example, JMeter, Selenium, Canoo Webtest, but it seems to be too complicated for my requirements. Is there a simpler solution?
