Golem

Intro

Golem is a complete test automation tool and framework for end-to-end testing. It creates powerful, robust and maintainable test suites, yet, it is easy to pick up and learn even without a lot of programming knowledge. It is based on Selenium Webdriver and it can be extended using Python.

It can:

  • Use the Page Object pattern
  • Write tests with multi data sets (data-driven)
  • Run tests in parallel
  • Test APIs
  • Run tests remotely (Selenium Grid or a cloud testing provider)
  • It can be executed from Jenkins or any other CI tool

It has:

  • A complete GUI module (a web application) to write and execute tests
  • A reporting engine and a web reports module
  • An interactive console

Selenium

Some prior knowledge of Selenium is required to work with Golem. Golem extends Selenium webdriver and webelement classes and uses a simplified interface for finding elements. It is advised to understand how standard Selenium works. This guide is a good place to start.
