It provides us daily feedback on the status of the core features of our websites
Pros and Cons
  • "It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
  • "Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
  • "Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."

What is our primary use case?

I use it for website end-to-end automation and continuous testing via integration on the VSTS CI pipeline. The tool is fully integrated in our tool process.

How has it helped my organization?

It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites. A great tool for a non-technical tester to learn automated testing. Also, it is great for a technical tester, because it allows great customization.

What is most valuable?

Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally).

What needs improvement?

Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works.

For how long have I used the solution?

Still implementing.
