Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

  • Easy to get started with build-in record, spy and heal features

  • Quick creation of test flow scaffoldings and boilerplate reusables

  • Reusable components block for reusing scripts

  • Intuitive Test-data parameterisation

  • Environment-based test-data set up and execution (Example: DEV, TEST, ACCEPTANCE)

  • Built-in Dynamic Data creation actions

  • Platform independent - Can be used in any operating system supporting java, like Windows, MAC, Linux

Integrated BDD

  • Built-in Gherkin editor for writing feature files

  • Imports feature files to generate the corresponding Test scenarios, Step Definition scaffoldings and Test Data

  • Generates BDD style reporting afetr execution

Azure DevOps

  • Rich command line interface to run test cases and pass propeties and variables at run time

  • Easy to add cli execution commands to Azure DevOps YAML files

  • Generates Nunit report which shows the test results (including execution logs, screenshots, request payloads, response payloads directly in Azure DevOps)

  • Seamless integration into Azure DevOps Test Plans to report back the execution status in the Test Plan

  • Execute failed testcases in a test set automatically after a run

Customization

  • Addition of new methods for project specific requirements is possible through the Engine project

  • Enhancing an built-in method is also possible through the same way

  • Incorporation of external libraries is also possible
