you want to write a testing client from scratch or are you looking for the state of the art modules for behavior testing? It it's the latter, look at casper + phantom and mocha.ffflabs– ffflabs2014-06-13 01:54:21 +00:00Commented Jun 13, 2014 at 1:54

As Amenadiel has said in the comments, you might want to use something like Phantom.js for testing websites.
But if you're new to node.js maybe try with something light, like Zombie.js.
An example from their home page:
var Browser = require("zombie");
var assert = require("assert");
// Load the page from localhost
browser = new Browser()
browser.visit("http://localhost:3000/", function () {
// Fill email, password and submit form
browser.
fill("email", "[email protected]").
fill("password", "eat-the-living").
pressButton("Sign Me Up!", function() {
// Form submitted, new page loaded.
assert.ok(browser.success);
assert.equal(browser.text("title"), "Welcome To Brains Depot");
})
});
Later on, when you get the hang of it, maybe switch to Phantom (which has webkit beneath, so it's not emulating the Dom).
