This is just a list of possible objects which could be used for keeping information about links.
a link is the full set of information about a link to another infostructure.
we have to be able to store and recover links so that we can later give out information about them.
links contain URLs, result histories etc.
a tester knows how to find out if a link is broken or not
not implemented
knows how to take the results of a tester and apply them to a link...
a result could be what we get when we run a tester
a reporter knows how to generate a report about the status of links
knows how to filter links.
do not multiply entities beyond necessity
we need a tester to bundle together testing stuff
we need a link to remember about link information
we need output through reporters
it would be nice to have testers that work on urls only, using options.. this would allow us to share code with people who want to do instant testing.
