That's exactly why I wrote Testify. PageTester is good but it's slow to
create one (I was finding about 4secs for the first instances and about
2secs for each other instance) and I was finding I needed different
instances for different tests - so my tests were taking ages to run. Also
it was very difficult to use mocks in the tests.

So Testify takes advantage of all the good infrastructure in PageTester
but makes it very fast because you can share one TapestryTester (which is
just a subclass of PageTester) amongst all your tests - so you just get a
one-off startup cost and then all the other tests are free.

I also added in facilities to make using Mocks very simple and that plus
the speed means it's practical to do lots of small-scale tests in the TDD
style.

Hopefully you'll find it's just what you were looking for :-)  And if not,
let me know the problem and I'll try to fix it.
