New Update for the Aqua Public Preview

QA and test engineering are essential parts of modern software development. At JetBrains, we believe using the right tool matters for every job. Creating a separate tool for automated test development was a natural step for us, as it allows us to cover the needs of multi-role software development teams.  We are happy to introduce JetBrains Aqua – a powerful new IDE for test automation. Aqua provides a unique feature set distinct from existing JetBrains products. In Aqua, we’ve assembled everything a test automation engineer needs on a daily basis, including a multi-language IDE (with s

Along with the updates for other JetBrains tools in this 2022.2 release cycle, the JetBrains QA Tools team is, too, delivering new features, bug fixes, and various enhancements. With this release, we mainly focused on the Page Object Editor provided by the Selenium UI Testing plugin. Let’s take a look at what’s new and improved! Improved web page structure in the Page Object Editor One of the biggest changes to the UI in this release is the reformatted web page structure. Now you can comfortably read the most important parts, such as the tag name, the ID, and applied CSS classes – a

Web testing becomes more and more convenient with the advent of new frameworks that make our lives easier. Modern frameworks abstract us from a lot of configuration and boilerplate and let us concentrate on our business objectives instead. Selenium lets us interact with web elements through a convenient API. Selenide makes it handier by adding convenience methods and spares us from tedious setup. Every new technology strives to raise the bar and make web testing even more enjoyable. The value of such frameworks cannot be emphasized enough. They are force multipliers indeed! Now that’s related

JetBrains IDEs got the last major update for this year! Together with this release, we’ve prepared a summary of the updates to our QA Tools.

In this article, we’ll give an overview of how IntelliJ IDEA can help Agile teams manage test cases and keep them synchronized with automated tests and feature branches. The approach that we follow could be more closely described as “Test as Text” or “Test as Code”. This approach involves storing test cases in a simple textual format, preferably in the version control system and next to the code of the project. Doing this allows us to manage test scenarios right from our IDE, keep them synced with the automated tests, see the change history, and develop test scenarios along with new features.

The new 2021.2 versions of the plugins from our Test Automation Kit are available on JetBrains Marketplace. During this release cycle, we focused on improving your user experience and enhancing Python support. Read on for a brief overview of the features and updates. Test Data Introducing Test Data – a new plugin in our Test Automation Kit. Those who have used the Test Management plugin might have already noticed many useful actions in the Generate menu. In this release we’ve extracted those actions to a separate plugin and reworked the settings, so it’s even easier now to create

This post has been created in collaboration with LambdaTest. In this post, we will show how to set up TestNG tests in TeamCity and power them up with the LambdaTest signature Selenium Grid Cloud functionality. LambdaTest allows executing automated tests on over 2000+ browsers. This helps achieve quicker continuous integration and more stable delivery of products to consumers. With its interactive UI dashboard, you get detailed test reports, logs, and videos, which makes it easier to analyze and debug any product issues. You can read more about the benefits of the TeamCity integration with La
