EMMA: a free Java code coverage tool. Mozilla-based Spiders. Web Spider applications have a multitude of possible applications ranging from search indexes, web site quality assurance testing to testing browser implementations.
This article introduces an improved mozilla-based Web Spider application framework which can be adapted for many different uses. In Web Site Quality Assurance Testing using Mozilla, I introduced the use of a mozilla-based web-spider application called CSpider to perform web site quality assurance. CSpider was based upon work I originally published on DevEdge. While the application did provide useful information for quality assurance testing, it did have a number of limitations which became more and more apparent to me as I used it to test web sites for compatibility with Mozilla-based browsers.
