VASS Testing Suite

Overview

VASS Testing Suite (VTS) helps your company elevate the quality of your Appian applications to a new level. Do you need a plus in terms of unit and functional or end-to-end testing? We mix Appian’s resources with our special sauce to offer a complete QA solution.

We make use of your existing Appian environment so that VTS is available to developers and QA which are already familiar with the Appian work environment, optimizing resources and time.

• It is the first QA Suite built in Appian to integrate both functional tests (or end2end testing) and unit tests.
• Always up-to-date and backward compatible with earlier Appian versions, thanks to integrating “Cucumber for Appian” plugin which is provided, supported and maintained by Appian.
• We provide extended functionality to interact with non-Appian UI components via xpath, capture and utilize dynamic test values, and many others! Further enhancements are possible to cater to your specific requirements.
• Easily structure your tests in reusable modules and apply DRY (Don't repeat yourself) principles to your workflow.
