I maintain a web app that would really benefit from an E2E suite, but we don't have the developer capacity to write one right now, so this looks like it hits a potential sweet spot for me. To use Reflect, I think we would need to understand the plan for what happens if the SaaS goes under -- ideally, we'd be left holding our test definitions and some open-source version of the test runner that we can instantiate on our own VM.
- jelling 6y agoTestcafe’s test recorder would let you create tests relatively easy by browsing and you can tweak them if needed. Ime they have great support and I like that I can buy the software rather than having another SaaS subscription. Ymmv.
- inglor 6y agoThe "easy out" for tools in this space is to give you export (For example to Selenium/Puppeteer/Playwright). A lot of the "premium" test tools offer this functionality. The "less easy out" is an on-prem version with a contract regarding updates + a clause for what happens if the company goes under in terms of support + an escrow over the code (the company gets a copy of the code + the license to change but not sell it etc).
- tmcneal 6y agoSorry - I just saw this! Some customers on our Enterprise tier have asked about this and we've agreed to provide them with a one-time Selenium export of the tests as a contingency for if we go out of business. Happy to chat about that if you'd like! My email's in my profile
