DESCRIPTION
    In order to test your application thoroughly you have to write a lot of
    tests, to ensure all controllers and actions are set up properly. This
    can be quite a pain, especially for large forms and complex business
    logic.

    This module provides a test skeleton from HTTP requests to your
    application. It captures body parameters as well as query parameters and
    handles all HTTP request methods. The generated test checks the response
    code only. This is where the real work begins. See
    Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst for more testing goodness.

CONFIGURATION
      package MyApp;
      ...
      __PACKAGE__->config( 'CatalystX::Test::Recorder' => {
        namespace => '...',
        ...
      } );

  namespace
    Sets the namespace under which the start and stop actions are located.
    Defaults to `recorder'.

  skip
    This is an arrayref of regexprefs. Requests, whose path matches on of
    these regexes, will not be recorded. Defaults to `qr/^static\//,
    qr/^favicon.ico/'.

  template
    Specify the path to a Template::Alloy (TT dialect) file which is used to
    render the test. For reference, the default template is available in the
    `__DATA__' section of `CatalystX::Test::Recorder::Controller'.

    The following variables are avaiable from the template:

    * requests
        An arrayref of Catalyst::Request objects.

    * responses
        An arrayref of Catalyst::Response objects.

    * app
        The name of the current application.
