========

Automated regression testing

Use Feta to record (cross browser reusable) functional tests of sites, and detect regressions caused by refactoring or maintenance.

Feta runs as a Chrome extension, and as a standalone library. You can also use Feta with PhantomJS to detect regression automatically in your continuous integration pipeline.

ScreenShot

Download

You can find a distributable copy of the Chrome extension here.

The full source can be downloaded from the master branch on GitHub (as a zip or gz) or installed via bower (bower install feta).

Usage

Check out this walkthrough video (no sound yet) to see Feta in action

Automated Test Creation

  1. Open devtools and click on the Feta tab
  2. Click Start Recording
  3. Work through typical behaviours on the site
  4. Click Stop Recording to stop capturing events and create the output script (it will prompt you for a filename)
  5. A new tab will be created for the test. From there you can run or download the test.
  6. Validations can be added to this file, or it can be incorporated into an automated test suite

Regression Testing

  • With the Chrome extension, Click Load Script to load a script into the sidebar, and then Run Test to run it
  • OR open up a console on another browser/platform/device and paste the test script it
  • OR Run phantomjs feta/lib/phantom.js <url>

FAQ

Q. Can I use the extension to run multi page tests (i.e. refreshing of pages)
A. Not at this time. Feta can only be used for single page apps for the moment.

Q. Does it work on windows? mac?
A. It has been tested on both windows and mac (presumably it works on linux)

Q. I got an error alert, what does it mean?
A. Please report all errors to the issue tracker. Since Feta is in beta release I appreciate any feedback. In the meantime, you can try closing devtools and refreshing the page.
