When it comes to software development, there’s no denying the importance of proper testing. Finding and fixing bugs before you release your project into the world is critical to the success of any project. Fortunately, there are plenty of fantastic testing tools out there to help you get the job done right. Here are five we are eager to recommend.
Testcontainers
Sometimes, using a disposable test environment is a much safer and more convenient way for testing stuff. Testcontainers is that environment, offering a wide range of flows: for data access layer integration tests with containerized instances of SQL DBs; integration application testing in a short-lived test mode with dependencies; UI tests with containerized browsers with no browser state, plugin variations, or automated browser upgrades. There are more, check the website!
Microsoft Playwright
Microsoft Playwright is a contemporary record and play tool created to make end-to-end testing easier. It allows for quick and easy cross-browser (Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit) automation with a single API. Accurately simulate various browser environments, run tests in parallel, capture videos, and screenshots, or isolate contexts with a single tool.
TestRail
Is a popular web-based testing system. It commonly forms the bedrock of the manual QA process and is often used as a test case warehouse. Easy online collaboration, tracking issues, and integration with a huge number of bug trackers and other testing tools make it a flexible solution. For automated testing, TestRail provides API handles for users to create their integrations.
Selenide
Selenide is an open-source testing framework built over Selenium WebDriver. It’s designed to provide simpler syntax and concise fluent API for tests along with powerful selectors. It allows users to focus on your business logic without solving issues like how to shut down the browser, handle timeouts and StaleElement Exceptions or search for relevant log lines, debugging the tests.
Allure TestOps
Allure TestOps is an all-in-one DevOps-ready testing platform that is capable to run, manage and all the testing for the team. Dozens of native integrations with testing frameworks, CI systems, and bug trackers allow creating a unified QA environment for your team. The system has special mechanics allowing automated seeking for and managing bugs and errors. Of course, there are a lot of minor features like an option to export test reports to PDF.
The right testing tools and platforms not only allow you to find and fix errors and bugs faster and more efficiently, but they will also allow you to deliver a better-finished product faster. These five tools are all at the top of their class when it comes to flexible, easy-to-use testing tools, and it’s well worth trying them to find the one that works for your team.
