Use Cases and Deployment Scope

You can add criteria to FitNesse's wiki pages, which are text-based pages. It's fast and straightforward to debug tests. It's easy for managers to understand tests since they're written in gherkin. Using the framework is straightforward and developing tests is a breeze. Each night, we conducted bamboo job tests so that we could analyze the findings the next day and decide whether or not to release the product. Managers and the PO must also be able to read the exams.

Pros

It is very simple to use, and open source.
It provides support for several languages.
FitNesse saves us time by running regression test scenarios.

Cons

Logging can help any debug or error issues.
A Java/Selenium developer is needed to maintain the FitNesse keyword library.
Content.txt and properties.txted need to be added to the test suite in older versions to make it visible in a test run.

Likelihood to Recommend

FitNesse is an automated testing framework that is simple to use. Using Jenkins/Bamboo, it's a cinch. In addition to being dependable, it is simple and quick to incorporate new tests into your existing workflow. The process of resolving and debugging test failures is straightforward. The FitNesse regression testing tool is used by our Application Development team to assess the stability of our Appian platform following a version upgrade.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

If you want to perform acceptance test-driven development, FitNesse is an excellent solution. The Business Analyst establishes the standard expectations for Input Request and Output Response from a certain capability or service that is available to any consumer. The developer is in charge of creating the service and ensuring that the FitNesse page is green, in accordance with the business case described above. Initially, the FitNesse page would be colored yellow, then red, and finally green, indicating that the Developer had successfully implemented the FitNesse system.

Pros

This program makes it simple to do both integration and acceptability testing.
FitNesse was a huge asset to us when it came to rule testing.
Scripting with command language is simple.

Cons

There is a lack of online assistance and tutorials.
Web components have to be labeled as a result.
Beginners will have to work harder to get up to speed.

Likelihood to Recommend

Useful and straightforward. Appian and other low-code BCM tools can be easily integrated. Writing a script for a test is similar to writing a script in English. So simple to use because it's a wrapper class for selenium. FitNesse is being implemented with the goal of doing it correctly the first time. As a result, migrations of both the client and the server are made easier.

Great way to automate regression testing with FitNesse

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Application Development team uses FitNesse to run regression testing after an Appian version upgrade to ensure our platform is stable. FitNesse has been a great help to saving us time by automatically running the regression test cases for us. Upgrade testing used to take us around 3-5 days, with FitNesse, we complete it within 1-2 days.

Pros

Easy to install.
Command language is easy to create custom scripts.
FitNesse tests are deterministic.

Cons

Limitations with rich text fields.
FitNesse cannot properly read the interface if labels or accessibility text is not available.
Not used for Web interface testing.

Likelihood to Recommend

FitNesse is great for scenarios where you would like to automate regression testing with basic user commands. For example, you can create a FitNesse script to log in as a user, click on a link to launch a process to fill out a form, and then sign out. FitNesse is not compatible with all Web interfaces, or rich text boxes.
