Testing Tools / DCT / TPL

I m exploring the options of automating the testing of DCTs [by editing, open-new, saving DCRs], and generating resultant pages using TPLs.

is anyone using any tools - jmeter? any open-source tools? for the same.
we have huge number of DCTs, TPLs and manual-testing of them is turning out to be extremely time-consuming.

to give an idea of the system, i have - 80+DCTs/network, 20+networks, more than 1 tpl/DCT. //

thanks.

You can write your own custom script to do some basic testing of this cader.
More than a question of how it is most important to define the "Kick ****" specifications of the final product(html or xml). Cuz when you do it manually either your manager or you yourself are Judge of the look and feel. If look and feel are not Major testing parameters for you then you can easily put down a script on paper to check the DCR use tpl and see if the html is generated in the location you wanted etc.

So Think in more terms of what will be a pass or fail in this type of testing.
If you can explain this in detail, i bet lof of people can throw different ideas to do so.

Thank You

look and feel is important - making assumption that all the css/stylesheets/images/other assets are already published and available in the webserver.
- look and feel of the text automatically entered by the testing tool is not a major criterion for test results.

Testing should look out for glitches in opening DCR, editing existing DCRs, creating new DCRs, using TPL to generate output files.
why? i have written a script to do changes across the board to DCR/DCT/TPLs to migrate from one system to another.

i m looking at option of using any tools to inject/do the above mentioned basic testing using those tools - has anyone done anything simiarl?

Have you thought about using WinRunner? It sounds like you could use a program like that. Not sure if there is a open source for that.
