Simple test framework for simple tests
Rating: 5 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
It is used to test user interface features of a web application. After writing tests current & new features are automatically checked for bugs to confirm that changes in application do not break them (regression testing). Because of automated testing no additional employees are needed to spend time on testing application after every change.
Pros
- Keyword based syntax, no programming skills necessary
- Easily extendable if user has some programming skills
- Completely free, no licenses
Cons
- Unreliable results, test might randomly succeed or fail
- Has problems with modern apps where pages change heavily without reloading
- Doesn't have a good IDE solution
Likelihood to Recommend
It suits for checking features of a simple web application or features that don't heavily rely on AJAX. You could create tests that check if application is running properly and raise alarm if required so someone can manually check for problems. However making big test sets to produce reliable results may prove to be difficult or impossible. Also running lots of test cases can take hours.
