Answer 1

This example shows how to do the SuperTest part of the testing:

describe('request', function() {
  describe('persistent agent', function() {
    var agent1 = request.agent();
    var agent2 = request.agent();
    var agent3 = request.agent();
    var agent4 = request.agent();

    it('should gain a session on POST', function(done) {
      agent3
        .post('http://localhost:4000/signin')
        .end(function(err, res) {
          should.not.exist(err);
          res.should.have.status(200);
          should.not.exist(res.headers['set-cookie']);
          res.text.should.include('dashboard');
          done();
        });
    });

Here's a blog post about it.
