This can be accomplished with Selenium or AutoIt

You can just run the website wizard in XI and check either box for the following

Web Page Content
Monitors the website to ensure the specified string is found in the content of the web page. A content mismatch may indicate that your website has experienced a security breach or is not functioning correctly.
Content String To Expect:

Web Page Regular Expression Match
Monitors the website to ensure the specified regular expression is found in the content of the web page. A content mismatch may indicate that your website has experienced a security breach or is not functioning correctly.

Website is hosted on server at some other location & virtually it is not possible for us to install anything on the server so ho w can i get selenium or Autoit to work over here ?

[scottwilkerson]

selenium and Autoit connect to the website just as a user would. You don't need to install anything on the server, they just replicate the connection to the server as a user would.

eg.

Code: Select all

open firefox
type URL
(start timer)
page loads
perform any other actions desired
(stop timer) and return value
