New Open Source Test Automation Framework

[Dmitri Molchanenko]

I have just released RedwoodHQ, a free Open Source test automation framework with HTML5 interface and the following major features:

- Keyword driven test cases or just have fully scripted ones

- Multi-threaded execution engine across multiple machines

- Detailed historical results

- Supports any Java and Groovy code (for API/GUI testing) or tool (eg: Selenium, Appium, etc.)

- 'Looking Glass' tool for GUI automation: html object identification, record playback and code testing

- Works with continuous integration tools (eg: Jenkins, Team City, etc.)

- Built-in IDE with Git source control

Here is a quick (6 minute) video overview of it:

Thank you for the tool! This is very useful especially when we need to scale our automation. Seem to be very valuable for teams working in remote locations as it standardizes automated test cases. Videos were very helpful - I was able to get it up and running instantly!

We have existing scripts written in Scala/ScalaTest. Can we import them to your framework? Thanks!

No, Scala is not supported at this moment, just Java or Groovy.  You can add your code as a jar and use it in your Java code if you like, but that's about it.
