A collection of resources to improve and assist manual Front End testing of projects. Currently this is just a list of potential resources that have yet to be investigated. Feel free to add new tools or have a lok at any and review them.
- Browserstack Automation : Executes Selenium scripts across multiple browsers. As yet untested but has good CI intergation. Selenium integration also allows other tools such as The Glen Framework
- CasperJS : A headless web browser allowing you to automate interactions in a site and export screenshots of the results/evaluate assertions etc. See this link for a good example
- Tota11y: Javascript based accesibility tester. Good for manual testing of single pages. Very useful screen reader wand feature (currently experimental) lets you see what a screen reader will read.
- The A11y Machine : Automated web page accessibility crawler. Generates quite a nice HTML report but is quite verbose. Could do with some work to prune severity levels etc. Suggest using this on upcoming projects.
- pa11y : Automated accessibility testing Currently untested
- Gremlins.js : Monkey testing - simulate random user input. Probably quite niche but if your site has a lot of user interaction then this will probably catch any corner cases.
- BackstopJS : CSS regression tool - visually identify regressions. Needs some work into integrating into a workflow but tests on the command line seem promising.
