Testsigma Launches Open Source Test Automation Framework

KR (Rukmangada Kandyala) — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:15:09 +0000

Today’s test stacks have made test automation more about writing and maintaining scripts than about taking quality software to market as quickly as possible.

What we’re trying to do at Testsigma is not just simplify test automation to speed up the testing, but also make it a sustainable, scalable process in which the tools and frameworks don’t require ongoing maintenance.

Feel free to contribute on GitHub!💚

Introducing Testsigma CE

The objective is to collaboratively build with you a future-ready test automation platform, an ‘operating system for software quality’ alongside its most important stakeholders – the user, that decisively bridges the gap between development and testing.

With Testsigma CE

Teams can dig into, customize and extend Testsigma as needed
Easily integrate existing open-source technology stacks
Involves low risk because it doesn’t involve security constraints 3rd party cloud-based tools are restricted by
The entire dev & testing community can collaborate towards the singular goal of simplifying test automation for everyone

Fixing the broken test stack

We’ve primarily seen two types of test automation approaches implemented, both being imperfect:

Custom built frameworks:
Given there are so many use cases, languages and app types, test automation becomes overwhelmingly complex & time consuming to the point where it becomes its own development project.

Scriptless tools:
Modern tools are simple to begin with but don’t scale for complex setups and constantly evolving applications.

So how do we stop test automation from becoming a complex parallel development project? By unifying the broken test stack. 🤔

Building an open source extendable automation platform

Our platform works out-of-the-box. You don’t have to ‘set it up’ one framework, library, and tool at a time. You can simply install it and directly start automating tests for web apps, mobile apps, and APIs.

From test development to reporting, users can perform integrated end-to-end testing that's supplemented by powerful TestOps, built-in test data management and one-click integrations with delivery pipelines, for web apps, Android and iOS apps, and APIs, etc.

Check out Testsigma!

Testsigma's platform approach will enable everyone to easily add custom actions, data generators, reports, integrations etc. from a community powered marketplace and build all these as needed using a simple Testsigma SDK.

No-code testing that’s not just record and playback!

We built Testsigma as a platform that everyone in the team could use to plan, develop, execute, and analyze tests unlike the traditional ‘record-and-playback’ approach.

To create tests in Testsigma all you need to know is simple English. You can either write tests step by step, or generate them by recording real-time user scenarios and interactions that are auto-converted into editable tests.

The smart mobile recorder fills the gaps and scales your testing & allows for automating complex test scenarios, capturing the most resilient locators while automatically generating the steps in readable natural language.

We need your help & support!
