This week saw the roll-out of Alliance's new "Automated Functional Tester" (AFT) framework. This is a very comprehensive and powerful automated testing framework enabling the end-to-end testing of complex web applications. It's driven by easy to write business requirements, handles rich AJAX interactions, integrated Windows security and file operations, enables fast regression suite runs, and rich reporting. This framework is built on and integrates a number of open-source testing frameworks to provide full capability and more comprehensive testing than any individual tool. And by using standard test execution environments, like Selenium, it's possible to take tests generated by the framework and execute them in Cloud testing platforms for performance testing or large-scale cross browser testing.
We use automated testing very extensively, from developer written unit tests to fully automated test suites. Sometimes clients balk at the high license fees associated with very full featured commercial testing tools like QTP and this open source testing framework is a great capability to provide our clients with custom software development backed by fully automated testing at a lower price point!
Great job to the AFT team!
