FitNesse for Appian

by Appian Corporation

Description

FitNesse for Appian is a client-side tool that makes it easy to create automated tests on the Appian platform. Create test scripts that will run Appian as if a user was clicking through the application and filling out data. FitNesse for Appian includes easy instructions to get you started.

*Note:* Java 11 required for plugin version 23.4

Features

With FitNesse for Appian, you can: > Write easy-to-read wiki language tests for Appian applications > Speed up testing times > Set up reusable regression tests

Reusable scripts can be written to: > Create new packages > Move them to different stages in the workflow > Check that forms are being populated correctly

Release notes

IMPORTANT UPDATE: FitNesse for Appian is now available as an open-source repository! The repository can be found on Gitlab under "appian-oss/appian-selenium-api": https://gitlab.com/appian-oss/appian-selenium-api/

Users of the libraries will find a few key benefits from this change:

Ability to contribute to the libraries
Immediate access to bug fixes and new functionality
Improved communication between other users and library maintainers by leveraging Gitlab issues.

Updates to the framework will be immediately available in the open source package registry. Users are encouraged to leverage this instead of the App Market as we do not plan to update the App Market listing for every patch.
