Fitnesse is a powerful tool that has been widely adopted for various use cases in the software testing domain. Users have found it extremely useful in automating rest and soap API testing, achieving 100% in-sprint automation. The integration of Fitnesse with wiki scripts enables collaboration with project stakeholders, including testers with minimal programming language skills. This feature has proven to be invaluable for scenario-based testing. Additionally, Fitnesse's ability to execute all regression tests allows teams to release software updates with confidence, saving the cost of manual regression testing for numerous applications.

Fitnesse offers a user-friendly wiki interface that simplifies test case documentation and facilitates goal setting and organization. With its support for integration and acceptance testing, Fitnesse provides a seamless testing experience, allowing users to easily create and run tests. It has also been preferred over other tools like Specflow due to its ease of use for non-technical users and its ability to maintain test libraries for multiple sites. Users have found that Fitnesse not only detects logic failures but also saves time and customer's money by automating regression tests, particularly focusing on databases. With its robust features and efficient debugging capabilities, Fitnesse has become an essential tool for acceptance test-driven development, enabling collaboration between business analysts and developers.

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.
Most Important Features
  • Usability.
  • Does not requires extra configuration or setup.
  • FitNesse works with Java.
Return on Investment
  • Saves developer time on regression testing.
  • Developers can spend time on other prioritizes while FitNesse runs regression testing.
  • Transitioning into another testing platform would be costly.

Create and execute integration tests without difficulty.

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.
Most Important Features
  • Automating database regression testing.
  • Usability.
  • Automated regression test execution in record time.
Return on Investment
  • It does not necessitate any further setup or configuration.
  • FitNess is an easy-to-use manual QA tool with a comprehensive report that aids stakeholders in better understanding the tested applications.
  • Automated testing suites for a wide range of websites. In addition, it is quite beneficial for the ongoing maintenance of the test library.

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.
Most Important Features
  • It helped in the creation of accurate computer code.
  • It can make use of automated test cases.
  • You may get guidance on how to make the most of it online.
Return on Investment
  • Automated testing saves time and money when launching new projects.
  • In order to do regression testing, FitNesse is used. We are confident in our ability to release often.
  • We can run bamboo tasks each night to examine findings the next day and reject/approve product releases.
Alternatives Considered
The FitNesse testing automation framework is very simple to operate. It is simple to connect with the Jenkins and Bamboo environments. It is dependable, and it is simple and quick to include new tests. The process of debugging and fixing test failures is straightforward. FitNesse, including its installation, may be utilized with a minimum of fuss and difficulty. Maintaining scripts and monitoring their output is designed to be a relatively straightforward process.
