Testing with Frank - Easy but complex enough automation

I like that it's easy to add scenarios, and easy to run them. The syntax is very intuitive. It's also easy to create new features.I dislike that some of the syntax can be confusing at first. Also, sometimes there are issues with execution time. Sometimes, the app will freeze while testing. I would recommend this tool to anyone who wants to automate their acceptance tests. We were able to use it to improve our QA process by adding more automated tests. This was especially helpful when we had to

Pros
  • Its ability t test your user experience using automation scripting or directly into live browser/mobile device sessions;The ease of configuration which allows any one developer(not just technical folks)to easily set up these scripts without programming skills requiredand most importantly its scalability allowing large volumes (1000s+) users per instance.It’ll allow you as well make sure quality control measuresare adhered too before deployment!
Cons
  • Can have long delays

Works fine for writing ios tests but I would like to see a more modern testing tooling

I like that the team is very responsive and flexible in their work. I do not like that they dont use any of the new tooling for testing ios apps out there currently such as XCTest, Quick, etc. Instead they are stuck with a very old style (I think it's called "old school") of writing test cases via xcode and executing them using command line tools. The new way would be nice but they seem to want the old way. This is fine if you are happy with the old way but if you are looking into something new

Pros
  • Their knowledge base also helped me greatly while learning how things worked behind the scenes especially before apple introduced many technologies around Swift/XCode 7+
Cons
  • Nothing really comes immediately across mind
