I am currently using the unit test module (extended of course) to test my libraries and models. What ways exist to test controllers automatically?

So I had an idea. Since all of my controllers feed the logs on error, if I can trigger the controller, I can read the logs after the test and check for errors, warnings, etc.

Is there a tool I can "browse" to a page, submit via POST, and trigger AJAX, from the command line?
