Web Interface (GUI)

FWTester includes a web-based graphical interface built with Flask and HTMX. It is a pure overlay on top of the core engine — it does not modify any core files.

The GUI provides:

• Inline editing of CSV input files and the YAML configuration

• Real-time test execution with a live results table

• Ad-hoc single-test execution (hot test)

• Log viewer with auto-scroll

• LXC container management

• User authentication and multi-language support
