Need information about Roadmap of RedwoodHQ framework

[sumit chakraborty]

Hi,

I am Sumit Chakraborty, Automation Architect at Brillio. During my research, came across RedwoodHQ automation framework and found it very intriguing and be-fitting our requirements of a web based test automation platform for multiple projects. In this regard would like to understand from the team, what is the road map for this framework in terms of features as we are looking to standardize this framework for any of Java/Groovy automation tools. Couple of requirements that we have :

• Single framework for web , mobile and backend.
• Intuitive reporting dashboards, open reporting formats (XML,JSON), ability to integrate with 3rd party build system.
• Support for central object repositories.
• Support for various unit testing frameworks and development philosophies - TestNG, Junit, Cucumber

Any information on the above will be highly appreciated and looking forward to closely work with the team on building a great product.

Thanks,

Hi Sumit,

We definitely have a lot of ideas for expanding RedwoodHQ and our road map is largely driven by following factors: a) Features and bug fixes which are requested by framework users (for example in our latest release we added ability to import TestNG/JUnit tests)  b) We have clients who use RedwoodHQ and contract us to add certain feature that they need...which in turn benefits everyone since it goes directly in to open source and released to public (unless it's something very specific to their internal workings of course) and you can always contact me directly if you would like to hear more about our test automation (front/back end) and framework services: den...@primatest.net. Otherwise the project is open source so you guys are also more than welcome to contribute to it as well.

To answer your questions:

- This framework works with any Java/GROOVY code or tool, so this means it does indeed work with web, mobile as well as back-end. One of a good examples would be to use inside RedwoodHQ: Selenium for Web (our Selenium project already comes with libraries and pre-made actions to use), Appium for Mobile and Java/GROOVY code for REST web service.

- As you probably saw in a video you can open any execution and see its status of what has passed or failed, or do an aggregate report of multiple executions to track down status to individual test case. But at this stage we don't export out our results, although you can provide direct URL links to execution which lists all the details you need.

- We have built-in GIT source repository right inside RedwoodHQ but you can always dig in to the code of framework to try to utilize the one you use if you really need to.

- As I mentioned above, this latest version 2.1 we not only added native support to TestNG and JUnit but if you already have these tests created before you can easily import them in to RedwoodHQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59z6PRvtpHc We might add more support later on if there will be more requests for this.

Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Roma,

RedwoodHQ comes with a very extensive documentation which will help you get started with the framework. Pros and Cons of the framework is quite contextual to your needs and usage scenarios. At a high level, we feel the framework does a great job by supporting multiple languages so that your automation solutions are not tool-centric and being UI driven using a client-server architecture, makes it a great choice for enterprise teams.

Let me know of your specific queries and may be then I would be able to help you better.

Thanks,

Sumit Chakraborty
