LambdaTest and CloudBeat Collaborates For Faster Selenium Testing

Are you planning strategies to help simplify the execution of your automation scripts for Selenium testing?

Selenium is considered as one of the favourites, in test automation frameworks, especially if we refer to the open-source ones. Selenium was brought to help facilitate automation testing for web-applications, all so it could ease the life of web testers.And it has been doing a pretty good job! However, Selenium is no magic wand. It will help you automate your web application testing but you would require thorough planning to implement Selenium testing across your organization.

You may have to consider different metrics to calculate your ROI for test automation such as the infrastructure cost, maintenance of Selenium scripts and Selenium Grid, test reporting process, and most important the right selection for Selenium testing tool.

Now, most of you may wonder as to what would you need a Selenium testing tool if Selenium is an open-source test automation framework? Well, there are many reasons behind that but the most primary ones are:

  1. You don’t have to worry about building or maintaining your in-house Selenium testing infrastructure.

  2. You get integrations to third-party tools to help you ship your product faster than your deadlines.

So If the above questions are not being a part of your pre-discussion for Selenium testing then chances are, that you may struggle while scaling your Selenium test suites in the near future as your product grows.

Many enterprizes fail to reap the maximum output with minimal throughput as they perform Selenium testing. If you are working under a similar organization where your test department is struggling in implementing Selenium testing then don’t worry, we got your back!

LambdaTest is conducting a webinar with CloudBeat to help address all your concerns related to Selenium testing. The webinar will demonstrate how you can fast-track your Selenium testing process using LambdaTest and CloudBeat simultaneously. Here is what you can expect to learn from the webinar:

  • A quick intro to LambdaTest platform.

  • Brief about CloudBeat Oxygen OS.

  • How LambdaTest & CloudBeat can help with faster product delivery.

  • Q&A session.

Did you know? You can run end-to-end tests on a blazing fast test execution for Cypress cloud.

What Is LambdaTest?

LambdaTest is a browser compatibility testing tool which offers both manual and automated cross browser testing with Selenium Grid of 2000+ real browsers running on real operating systems. LambdaTest also helps to perform cross browser testing of your locally hosted web applications using an SSH(Secure Shell) connection. With LambdaTest integrations, you can integrate with numerous third-party tools for CI/CD and project management. Fetch detail test reports of your Selenium test execution over the LambdaTest platform, along with video recording of test script, command-by-command screenshot, various types of logs, metadata, and more.

Did you know? Exponentially increase your browser coverage by running your Selenium automation testing scripts on a cloud of 3000+ different desktop and mobile environments.

What Is CloudBeat?

CloudBeat aims to simplify automation testing by its open-source test automation framework known as Oxygen. Oxygen is a wrapper for Selenium and Appium. With Oxygen, you can perform API testing, Integration testing, UI testing, and Browser testing.

Since Oxygen is based on Selenium, it also offers the record and playback functionality to help you easily debug the issue in your Selenium scripts. You can even perform assertions against a database, invoke RESTful APIs, web services, and more. Oxygen framework provides you with detailed insight over the execution of your test automation scripts such as error-details, screenshots, and HAR files.

CloudBeat allows you to perform cross browser testing with every browser that is compatible with Selenium and from 10 locations over the world. It offers you with detailed test reports and also helps you to keep a track on performance measurements from the server-side. You also get notifications and test results in your mailbox so you don’t miss out on anything.

LambdaTest Collaborates With CloudBeat To Help You Expand Cross Browser Testing

Using LambdaTest and CloudBeat you can perform end to end testing of your web-application while expanding your browser and devices test coverage, so you ensure a seamless user experience for all your website visitors. Perform Selenium cloud testing on a Selenium Grid of 2000+ real browser to help you expand your test coverage on a wide variety of devices and browsers. The best part?

You could do it all without any in-house Selenium Grid infrastructure as LambdaTest will host all the browsers and devices as per your test script on its cloud servers. You can even perform parallel testing with Selenium scripts and get detailed test reports about the execution of your automation scripts from Oxygen on LambdaTest Selenium automation. You can make use of REST API for Selenium automation offered by LambdaTest to extract test details directly from LambdaTest clouds to your preferred store, without logging into LambdaTest.
