Here's an open source alternative (actually a huge improvement to how most people do frontend tests) I put together a while back: https://github.com/testfront-io/testfront-devtools https://github.com/testfront-io/testfront-devtools (See also https://www.testfront.io/ https://www.testfront.io/ for an actual description of how it works, but don't bother signing up.)
I'm really bad at marketing/getting the word out, and google took forever to approve the extension so I lost interest. I made it because I hate manually writing E2E tests like with Cypress.
Maybe if others show interest in it, I'll be motivated to resume the plans I had for it.
- sverhagen 6y agoLike others in here you included "open source" in your phrasing, in a way that sounds to me as if Cypress wouldn't be open source. But it's rather MIT licensed, unless I've been fooled. Following that up with a question, what's their business model, consulting? I didn't immediately find any upsells on their website. Edit: finally found the pricing page, to but the core is still open source then?
- MetaWhirledPeas 6y agoIt's all open source. What you pay for is their dashboard tool, which is a good, affordable product. The dashboard also acts as an orchestrator for parallelization. I assume the orchestration is free up to the monthly free-limit, but if it falls back to single-threaded after that I don't know.
- mmmateo 6y agoThat looks like a massive productivity gain. Are there any other tools that build tests like that? Makes me feel like a caveman for writing them by hand.
