var ntf = require('ntf')
 , test = ntf.http('http://code.shutterstock.com/ntf/')

exports.home = test.get('/', function(test) {

Run Tests Continuously

ntfd manages scheduling and running your suites of tests. Handle results with plug-ins or write your own callbacks.

var ntfd = require('ntfd')

ntfd({
    path: __dirname + '/tests',
    agent: 'test',
    plugin: [
        new ntfd.plugin.ConsoleEmitter()
    ],
    test: { interval: 10 }
})

Reporting in Real-time

See results from test suites in real-time via WebSockets. Drill down for more granular test and performance data. There's a REST API built-in too.
