'''HttpUnit''' is an [[open-source software|open-source]] [[software testing]] framework used to perform testing of web sites without the need for a [[web browser]]. HttpUnit supports [[HTML]] form submission, [[JavaScript]], [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol|HTTP]] [[basic access authentication]], automatic page redirection, and [[HTTP cookie|cookies]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.oit.va.gov/Services/TRM/ToolPage.aspx?tid=5814 |title=HttpUnit |date=November 25, 2013 |website=VA Technical Reference Model v 23.2 |access-date=March 15, 2023}}</ref> Written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], HttpUnit allows Java test code to process returned pages as text, XML [[Document Object Model|DOM]], or containers of forms, tables and links. HttpUnit is well suited to be used in combination with [[JUnit]], in order to easily write tests that verify the proper behaviour of a web site.

The use of HttpUnit allows for automated testing of web applications and as a result, assists in [[regression testing]].
