Overview
Five years ago Mogotest set out to bring an amazing new form of web site testing to market. Rather than focus on tedious UI tests that break every time there's a redesign, Mogotest adapts as your page evolves. It auto-detects rendering issues your web site or app both across browser and over time within a particular browser (regression). It requires no coding, so it's accessible to everyone. And it provides multi-level reports that adapt to different roles within an organization.
For more information on how things work, check out a talk I gave at Google's Test Automation Conference on
Web Consistency Testing.
Features
- Cross-browser: Why open IE if you don't have to? We have you covered.
- Regression: Confidently change CSS & JS without breaking layout.
- Mobile: Flicking your iPad is fun, until you have to do it for 20+ pages.
- Fast: Our automated testing gets you results up to 75x faster than a human could.
- Simple: No coding required. Designed for everyone from PMs to QA to devs.
Goal
The goal of this project is fairly simple. Mogotest is going out of business, but the technology developed over the past 5 years can live on. I've open-sourced a lot of the supporting libraries. But the primary project itself requires a fair bit of work before it can be publicly released. This is due to some libraries used internally that I don't have permissions to redistribute, short of releasing everything as GPL.
Risks
There are really no risks associated with the project. If the goal is reached, I'll release the project under a permissive Apache License, version 2.0. If the goal is not reached, I may still release the project under an open source license, but it'll likely be the Affero General Public License (AGPL).
**UPDATE** - Releasing the core product without meeting the funding goal seems unlikely. I've devoted 14 hours to this effort and there's still a fair bit more to be done. Instead, I guarantee I'll open source all the supporting services for Mogotest.
