Automated testing

Ask us anything

Hi, I’m looking for a test automation platform that would work well with WeWeb’s generated apps. The objective is to automate tests as much as possible when deploying.

Maybe someone has recommendations, or past experience that they could share with me. I’d like that platform to stay in the same kind of low code environment that WeWeb offers.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Any news on that matter ? Really interested in getting features & tutorials for that whole job which is testing & automation. Does WeWeb have plans for that ?
Thanks

I am successfully using Cypress.io for automated testing my WeWeb application. There are some minor things to consider:

  1. You cannot (at least not easily) run automated testing within the WeWeb Editor. The application URL is different in the WeWeb editor compared to when it is built/deployed.
  2. You will need at least one of the paid plans to run your tests outside the WeWeb Editor. With my ‘Scale’ plan, I can run the tests in the Stage environment before promoting the changes into Production.

For the backend, I am using Xano and they introduced automated testing built into their platform around September 2024. This has been incredible at simplifying testing by testing all the APIs in isolation of the frontend. This means I can stop testing edge cases on the frontend that is already handled by the backend.

Hope this is useful.
