Sopra Steria Meet Up: UI Testing with Menditect in Practice

MTA (Menditect Test Automation) is a tool that allows you to test a Mendix app without having to maintain test code in your app.
With MTA it was already possible to test the backend logic of your Mendix apps. However, in some cases you will also want to test the frontend.

Perhaps you remember ATS (Application Test Suite), a tool that could also test your Mendix frontend, and which was based on the Selenium framework. Now, its successor has arrived. Called Playwright, this tool alows the reliable and fast end-to-end testing of any web app. Until recently, it was only available for high coders but not anymore...

Join us at the Sopra Steria office in Diegem to discover how the Playwright integration works within MTA, providing access to the entire Mendix test pyramid.
