SiteEffect: Automated frontend regression testing

Created on 30 March 2014, about 11 years ago

Updated 27 April 2025, about 1 month ago

I am working on a regression testing framework which might be useful for fully automated testing of all frontend components. "Automated" in terms of not having to write any specific test.

It's called "SiteEffect" (http://siteeffect.io) and I gave a session about it at the Dev Days in Szeged. I uploaded the slides, but I'm not sure how useful they are. I'll most likely (if accepted) give the session again at drupal camp main in frankfurt.

I have started to make it work with Drupal 8 and will post any updates and more details here soon. I discussed the basic idea with a lot of the DDD attendees, including tstoeckler, da_wehner, dasjo, rteijeiro, pixelmord, schnitzel, nod, yesct, ....

The whole issue is related to #237566: Automated JavaScript unit testing framework → , but not that same as it doesn't do any functional testing.

Came across this today.

There has been no discussion for 10 years and the testing framework has evolved. Is this still relevant? If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!

#2099579: Discuss automated visual regression testing → is open for visual regression testing - it would be useful to have but I think one issue to discuss it is probably better.

Based on catch's comment and the fact that http://siteeffect.io is dead, I am closing this issue. It is already a related issue on #2099579: Discuss automated visual regression testing → so this issue can be found by those interested.
