Day 13: Best Automation Solutions

Original post: share-your-favourite-automation-tool-and-why

In my experience, my top **3** the following have worked:

CodeceptJS - for those with a javascript background, codeceptJS is a great UI framework with a syntax that is easy to learn. The frame work can be adapted for customized usage or with other libraries.

Katalon - written in Groovy, this framework is hands-down my favorite in terms of reliability and ease-of-use. I came upon it while researching an automation test solution for my company. Having previous experience with similar proprietary testing solutions written in Jasmine, adapting what I learned was effortless.

My learnings for Python are in their infancy, but I have found using a lot of success with http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/index.html

For API tests, Postman and FrisbyJS have been a godsend.
