This website was created to replace the original static website used for testing WebCopy features, expanded to cover additional scenarios that the original didn't handle and to ensure a lean site that doesn't slow down integration testing unnecessarily. Of course, writing better tests is just as important! But every little helps, over time it has been used to find bugs in WebCopy's crawl engine and to help ensure regressions don't make it back in.
Cyotek is a .NET shop and usually all our products are written in C# using Visual Studio. This time however we decided to keep it simple and this site has been written with PHP, originally using WebMatrix and currently Visual Studio Code. As we aren't PHP coders and don't have much of a clue on best practices for writing PHP or even most of the language the code quality is probably less than stellar. Although it was fairly fun to write as it doesn't need an ever increasing amount of binary dependencies, no assembly bindings or version woes... it just works.
