Do you write integration tests to validate your web links?

If you store your URL references in the application settings, you can create integration tests to validate them.

Sample Code: How to test the URL

[Test]
public void urlRulesToBetterInterfaces()
{
    HttpStatusCode result = WebAccessTester.GetWebPageStatusCode(Settings.Default.urlRulesToBetterInterfaces);
    Assert.IsTrue(result == HttpStatusCode.OK, result.ToString());
}

Sample Code: Method used to verify the Page

public class WebAccessTester
{
    public static HttpStatusCode GetWebPageStatusCode(string url)
    {
        HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        req.Proxy = new WebProxy();
        req.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
        HttpWebResponse resp = null;

        try
        {
            resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
            if (resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
            {
                if (url.ToLower().IndexOf("redirect") == -1 && url.ToLower().IndexOf(resp.ResponseUri.AbsolutePath.ToLower()) == -1)
                {
                    return HttpStatusCode.NotFound;
                }
            }
        }
        catch (System.Exception ex)
        {
            while (!(ex == null))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
                Console.WriteLine("INNER EXCEPTION");
                ex = ex.InnerException;
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            if (!(resp == null))
            {
                resp.Close();
            }
        }

        return resp.StatusCode;
    }
}
