for XML

recheck for XML. Replace manual asserts and check everything at once.

Features

• Easy creation and maintenance of checks for XML.
• Semantic comparison of contents.
• Easily ignore formatting, volatile elements, attributes or sections.
• One-click maintenance to update tests with intended changes.
• No unexpected changes go unnoticed.

Advantages

Instead of manually defining individual aspects that you want to check, check everything at once. So instead of writing lots of assert-statements (and still not have complete checks), write a single re.check. This saves a lot of effort when creating the tests. And makes sure to not miss unexpected changes.

And even better: using the retest GUI (or the soon to come open source CLI), you can easily accept those changes with a single click (patent pending). This also saves a lot of time during maintenance. Any regular changing aspects or elements can easily be ignored.
