UI testing is the process of testing the user interface of something. This means testing to see how your application, website, or software interacts with a user. Basically, UI testing checks to see how your application or software responds to the following: usability consistency accessibility compatibility In simple terms, it’s checking to see how your program handles mouse and keyboard input, as well as whether it displays text, images, boxes/menus, icons, toolbars, and other interactive elements.

One of our favorite things about Testomato is that it’s been designed to be easy and user-friendly. We hope that we’ve achieved this goal!

You can then choose which projects you would like to receive notifications about. Select the project(s) and click save.

The Testomato team wants to make sure you understand how our features work, so this post will be the first of a Feature Spotlight series. Today, we’ll cover how we create our basic test suite (a set of tests) when you test a URL. The automatic test suite we create is based on a link search we conduct on your homepage. What does that mean? When you send us the URL for your website,  Testomato finds all the hidden links in the HTML on your homepage, identifies important links, and makes sure they are all functioning correctly.
