Thanks for the response. Someone else informed me that you can't really use conditional statements with Fitnesse which would be a deal-breaker for this framework. I am thinking I'll go with Selenium API and Cucumber for the test execution & organization. I like Cucumber because it's very organized and not easy to break if you write the features well.

Hi,
to get to the links you have to be a registered user at the Appian Community. (see the button in the right upper corner).
The main question is, what is the best approach if Appian is changing the handling of their UI components to avoid that your QA framework is breaking.
a.) Fitnesse for Appian
b.) The selenium API (available at the Appian App Market)
c.) Appian RPA (it is using the Flacon engine for recognizing UI artifacts, like icons, etc. independent of the underlying technic)
d.) Going with your own programming (pure Selenium) with all freedoms but the risk one day all of your testcases will stop to work.

Just my two pence.
