Functional test software/framework that covers Asp.Net Web Apps?

Question

I recently began to use the NexusLight, a functional test automation framework. Are there more frameworks that does a similar job?

Answer 1

Have a look at this question as well.

Answer 2

I haven't really looked into NexusLight but I think InCisif.net is supposed to provide a functional test framework as well. You could look into it.

Answer 3

I test asp.net web apps for years and the only tool I use is Watir.

VSTT 2010 should be a good bet if you are looking for functional test automation. Web Services Testing, UI testing, Biztalk testing and Data Driven Testing Support. Please look at VSTT - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee338734(v=vs.90).aspx

Unfortunately it's not free.

Answer 6

Reading a list made by Scott Hanselman, I found these two tools:

• WatiN, to automated the tests;
• WatiN Test Recorder, to automate the test code generation.

From WatiN page:

[...]WatiN (pronounced as What-in) website. Inspired by Watir development of WatiN started in December 2005 to make a similar kind of Web Application Testing possible for the .Net languages.

And from WatiN Test Recorder:

The purpose of the application is to generate code compatible with the WatiN (Web Application Testing In .NET) project.

Answer 7

Have a look at Seleno. It uses Selenium under the bonnet but abstracts all browser automation into Page Objects, which lead to well structured and fluid C# based tests.

It is particularly well suited to ASP.NET MVC, as each Page Object can be strongly typed (using Generics) to an equivalent MVC ViewModel, leading to a consistent relationship between View, ViewModel and Page Object.

Check out some of the samples in the Seleno codebase to see this in action.
