#test framework

A sneak peek into ‘test framework’, ‘test pyramid’ & ‘testing pyramid’

The testing pyramid is a concept that can help you better balance your tests, speeding up your test suite and reducing the cost of changing the functionality of your applications.

We have just released a new Java SDK that simplifies the integration of the Applitools Eyes cloud service with any Java based test framework (mobile, desktop or web).

Mighty-Moose is a free continuous testing tool for the Net and Mono platform. It helps you with the way you do TDD by taking care of all compiling and testing in the background to help you work more efficiently. It also figures out exactly which tests to run, based on the changes you just made. Therefore, instead of running all tests, it will only run those affected by your changes.

In addition to making sure your work flow is optimized, its features include graphs visualizing the relation between a piece of code and the tests run on it, annotation inside your code showing risk you are taking changing this piece of code, and more.

Mocha is a useful JavaScript test framework running on node and the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases. Mocha is a feature-rich Test framework available on GitHub under a MIT License.
