The functional JS Test Development Kit (TDK) is a set of tools for making cross-browser end-to-end testing fast, user-friendly, and valuable at scale, across large teams, without those annoying false positives.
The following tools are part of the functional JS TDK:
Magellan - Magellan is a massively parallel test runner. By distributing tests across available CPU cores, Magellan blazes through long test suites in a fraction of the time, aggregating results in one friendly report.
Nightwatch-Extra - Nightwatch is a friendly NodeJS-based wrapper for Selenium, allowing developers to author tests in a way that’s easy to learn and quick to iterate on. The Nightwatch-Extra adapter is the first of many adapters to come for bringing other webdriver wrappers into the TestArmada ecosystem.
Executor - Executor acts as a middle layer between magellan and test framework to drive test run (via framework) based on a specific need (differentiated by executing environments).
Reporter - Magellan can give you various test reports if configured with a proper reporter. There are already several reporters available in Testarmada to grab, however the simple API Testarmada exposes also allows to create a customized reporter in an easy way.
Admiral - Like a tree falling in the woods, a test report that nobody reads doesn’t make a sound. Admiral is a beautiful dashboard that makes it easy to check the latest cross-browser test results, and to spot trends and sources of failures.
Built at WalmartLabs to drive quality for the world’s largest retailer, TestArmada is battle-tested, enterprise-grade, and ready to take on end-to-end testing for your site.
TestArmada won’t waste your team’s time or erode its trust with annoying false-positives. When failures occur, TestArmada intelligently retries the tests to smooth over common sources of “test flake”.
The functional JS TDK tells you everything you need to know, and nothing you don’t. Notifications occur in real-time when tests fail, and a beautiful dashboard always shows the latest status for each suite.
With the functional JS TDK, WalmartLabs has made end-to-end testing part of the shared culture between dev & QA. Both organizations collaborate to ensure quality at all levels development, staging, and production.
The functional JS TDK supports:
Frameworks - Nightwatch & Mocha
Reporters - xunit, json & mongo db
Clouds - Saucelabs & Testobject
