Codeless Automated Testing
Introduction
TestProject is an end-to-end test automation tool that works on “record & play” principle i.e. you can record the website or mobile testing actions and play them later when bugs are caught for efficient diagnosis.
Using this tool one can automate iOS, Android, and Web applications. It also allows you to integrate Selenium and Appium for mobile automation testing purposes.
In case you are unaware, Selenium & Appium are popular web and mobile testing frameworks. Read about them here and here respectively.
Today, let's discuss setting up TestProject in Mac and creating our first test.
The architecture of the TestProject
When we write tests and add-ons with the TestProject framework, we have to use the TestProject SDK. It provides to write automated tests for mobile and web applications.
It allows us to manage our projects, test cases, and add-ons. We can create new projects, add test cases to our projects.
The TestProject agent can run on a computer as long as its operating system is supported by the TestProject framework. It can execute tests on Android, iOS, and Web applications.
