   But, nothing is being searched or seized here; it seems like people gave up their personal data, ignored or didn't read a ToS, and companies are selling it - not being forced to give it up. I don't like it, but does it mean it&#x2

   So far this objection hasn't really been raised more than a couple of times that I can recall. So far, folks have been satisfied using our automation or crowd in the cloud due to our security, external auditing and contracting. For the

    Thanks Tim, as the first no-code platform for this kinda thing, we're surprised too!

    Agreed; also, even with human testing, their nuance can be a double-edge sword. Testing, and specifically QA is hard - as today it's mostly about the "assurance" part; does one feel assured enough to ship this, which is subje

    It was a design choice; for some actions it's possible - click being a great example - for others it's not e.g. hover; are you thinking, or actually hovering? ...waiting: are you thinking or trying to add a wait to the test? So, w

    It was pretty hard to be honest, but it was helped by the fact we already had our own virtual machine infrastructure that we use for the crowd side. Without that, it would be a much steeper hill to climb. Re the problem itself at a basic le

    It identifies things visually, and optionally with OCR as well. If it moves likely no issue. Changing shape or size too much, as well as not matching OCR can cause failures - as expected. If it is an expected update and the test needs updat

    Yes; you can download and install anything, then test it . Ideally you setup the install process as one test, then embed in other tests for better maintainablity. For very large apps, or long to install, we can/have Pre installed thing

    Yes, it works for electron apps. You'll need to host the binary somewhere, then install it. You can bundle those actions in to one test and then reuse as a building-block for your actual tests.

    There is a video on the bottom of https://www.rainforestqa.com/how-rainforest-works that shows the product being used, which should answer it!

    We support that for the human language tests, but not yet for the automation. A few customers have done it themselves by exporting the JSON (it's a defined, versioned schema), but we've not yet productized that.

    Mostly b, but: a) we can, if so generally they install it as part of the testing (e.g. a client testing a chrome ext), or have us build a custom vm for them (e.g. clients with 20gb download) b) this is the common path; folks push something,

    At least for testing, and traditional automation (aka code) the bar is knowing what you're doing AND knowing the product enough to be able to test it effectively. We remove the code requirement, making testing accessible to more folks

    Yes, zero issues - as we test like a human would. Rainforest looks at the screen, uses the keyboard and mouse to interact with the software under test. For an SPA, that stack is likely windows, chrome and your SPA inside Chrome.

    Awesome! IMHO it was more of a refinement of the concept of deploying each commit; doing it at a PR and push level worked better. Open-sourcing it, and getting Heroku to bake it in was the icing on the cake for us! Context for everyone else

    Thanks! Depending on what you mean; assuming it's the security angle: TLDR; carefully At a high level, most of our customers are testing in QA - not production - so usually the only proprietary information (outside of credentials to ac
