SmartBear Releases TestLeft 2.5
May 17, 2018
SmartBear released TestLeft 2.5, featuring new Behavior Driven Development (BDD) support directly built into popular IDEs such as Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and Visual Studio.
By uniting BDD frameworks with an object repository, TestLeft empowers technical automation engineers to create complex and scalable automated UI tests in seconds right within their IDE and shift test activities earlier in the development lifecycle.
In addition, with SmartBear’s recent acquisition of Hiptest, modern software teams can further empower Agile and DevOps workflows to collaborate on an idea, test code continuously, and generate living, real-time documentation.
With TestLeft, teams practicing BDD can now accelerate their shift left movement by connecting feature file definitions from user requirements in the design phase with TestLeft automated tests – bringing all members of a development lifecycle together to dramatically improve software quality. One hundred percent of TestLeft beta users embracing BDD said they were able to set up TestLeft easily and found value in using TestLeft with BDD.
TestLeft significantly saves time for even the most technical automation engineers by automatically searching for their objects and functions instead of manually writing them in script.
Ryan Lloyd, VP of Products, Test and Development at SmartBear, said, “Our product portfolio addressees the testing needs for both technical and non-technical users, pushing the envelope on software quality by not limiting teams to one approach for automation. TestLeft addresses the growing needs for advanced testers looking to start testing earlier in the development lifecycle and embracing DevOps.”
In addition to BDD support, TestLeft also includes the ability to create automated functional tests in any Java IDE, expanding to an even broader group of software developers. Automation engineers can run these tests from Jenkins, Maven, Java unit testing frameworks, any Java IDE, and many other ways. Other features include enhanced reporting and test logs for faster time to resolution and built-in samples to help new automation testers get started with TestLeft even faster.
