Automated Website Archiving & Testing Services - from the Cloud
Functional Testing for Developers
Find defects faster
It has been shown that the longer before defects are found, the more they cost to fix, both in terms of time and manpower. Once other features have been built on top of them, they may be impossible to back out. By running scheduled overnight build verification tests, you will be able to spot unexpected changes earlier, thus reducing the development lifecycle.
Capture and store real screenshots
No more 'what did it look like/say on the screen' when someone reports a defect - as screenshots and the HTML are captured and stored at every step, you can see what happened if an error occurred rather wasting time trying to reproduce it before you can start fixing it.
Develop locally
Scripts can be written and developed on your local desktop using the Selenium IDE Add-in for Firefox, before uploading to our servers. You can also export and download them to allow editing or re-run in Selenium IDE.
Automate your testing
Our service can be used as a Smoke Test before passing a release over to the test team - one of the most cost effective methods of identifying and fixing defects.
Industry standard
Run the same Selenium test scripts using the Cloud Testing service and on your own desktop with Selenium IDE.
Full debug and diagnostics
Have access to historical component information and timings, including HTTP request and response headers, just like you get in Firebug, but stored by us.
Functional Testing for Testers
Full screenshots and HTML
The HTML of each step, and a screenshot is automatically captured and stored, meaning that you can easily diagnose issues and point the developer to what actually occurred.
Schedule your testing
Once written, the tests can be scheduled to run at regular intervals, freeing you from the tedious task of manually running tests and storing the results, and giving the added benefit of being repeatable.
Automated smoke tests
Our service can be used to perform a Smoke Test on a website prior to being accepted from the development team for manual testing.
Leverage your functional testing
Once you have run your functional tests, why not quickly and easily check your website with the Cross Browser feature, which allows you to run a test in multiple browsers then compare what they look like side-by-side. View more detail on how the Cloud Testing Service can help with Cross Browser Testing.
Re-use your existing Selenium scripts
Run your existing Selenium tests using our agents.
Exportable
Export your test scripts from the Cloud Testing service and run on your own desktop with Selenium IDE.
Functional Testing for Website Managers
Reduce development times
Scheduling of tests can drastically reduce web development lifecycles.
Free up your staff
Automated website testing frees up people to do what they do best.
Earlier fixes
A key time saving feature is the ability to look back over time and see when a defect was introduced, meaning earlier fixes.
Only pay for what you use
The PaYT (Pay as You Test) model gives you the ability to cope with peak demand whilst not paying for it during quiet times.
Regression Testing
Cloud Testing can be used as a regression testing tool - to verify a new release against a known stable one before it is released live.
Cross Browser
Check what your website will look like in a variety of browsers using the 'Cross Browser' feature.
Reduce testing costs
The sooner bugs and defects are found, the less they cost to fix, both in terms of time and manpower. Running scheduled build verification tests overnight allow the teams to spot problems sooner, both increasing the quality of the end product and reducing timescales.
