Testing Network Protocols and Applications
A listing of tools and techniques related to testing applications that use Network protocols, servers that implement them, etc.
- Dumbster is a very simple fake SMTP server designed for unit and system testing applications that send email messages. It responds to all standard SMTP commands but does not deliver messages to the user. The messages are stored within the Dumbster for later extraction and verification. The Dumbster slots itself very easily into your testing strategy. As long as your application talks to an email server using SMTP then the Dumbster can be used to test the application with no code changes.
- James Postage is a stand-alone pure-java application generating mail traffic on mail servers. It uses standard mail protocols to do this, currently POP3 and SMTP. Therefore, it is well suited for testing any mail server supporting those protocols. It was particularly created for running against Apache James Server and contains special feature for it.
