The Easiest Way to Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like most QA professionals, you\u2019re probably crushed with work. Tests to create, tests to run, and bugs to file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And despite running marathons on the QA \ntreadmill, your test coverage is low. You\u2019ve got untested use cases and \nuntested platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And development? They keep tweaking the UI, \nmaking your tests break. Then there\u2019s the good ol\u2019 \u201ccan\u2019t replicate\u201d \nstatus on bugs you worked hard to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes you want to take up something easier. Like firewalking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superpowers for the New Selenium IDE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you use Selenium IDE<\/a><\/strong>, you know it\u2019s a quick way to record and replay automated test scripts so you can increase your test coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You might have heard that Selenium IDE was end-of-life\u2019d. Well, rumors of its death were greatly exaggerated<\/a>. It’s back, has new features for reliable playback, and runs on Chrome<\/a> and Firefox<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applitools Eyes for Selenium IDE<\/strong> is a lightweight extension for Chrome<\/a> and Firefox<\/a> that works alongside Selenium IDE. Once installed, it lets you add functional and visual checkpoints to your Selenium IDE scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test on Hundreds of Browser Configurations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For each checkpoint, Applitools Eyes for \nSelenium IDE grabs a snapshot of your DOM. All the HTML, CSS, images, \nand other page components. It then uploads these DOM snapshots to Applitools Ultrafast Grid<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Ultrafast Grid then renders them on up to\n hundreds of different combinations of browsers, viewport sizes, and \nscreen orientations, grabbing a screenshot of each. This lets you test \nyour UI on many of the devices your customers use \u2014 and radically \nincrease your platform coverage. Just check off whatever screen size or \nemulated device you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-browser bugs will have nowhere to hide.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this happens in parallel, so you can see all your app screenshots within seconds of your Selenium IDE script finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
