Tests are a fundamental component for the development of software that is bug-proof, the use or introduction of script tools or software that reduce costs and time for an anomaly-free development. In short, test automation consists of the set of techniques and technologies that allow you to fully or partially automate the testing activity.

Automatic testing is a practice that can have high costs in the first place but which, in the long term, turns out to be an important investment to put quality software on the market. With consequent cost reduction in terms of time and resources.

Idelium is an open-source product, and therefore, it doesn't cost anything. The entire suite can be downloaded directly from: https://github.com/idelium

Idelium is very simple to use, as soon as you get your login credentials, the system asks you to define a project. Once the project has been defined, you need to set which environment you want to run it on (development, testing, etc.) and the type of test (web, mobile app or backend app). Once defined you can create your individual steps using the Idelium Wizard or in the case of web tests using Selenium IDE.

Idelium provides an Idelium-cl application that can be launched from any environment (Windows, Linux, Mac OS) directly on your server or PC.

Of course, Idelium can be integrated with any continuous integration software (such as Jenkins, GitLabs, Bamboo etc.)

With Idelium you have the ability to enhance functionality by writing plugins directly from the web console. Plugins will be your powerful tools to let your imagination run wild.

Sure, Idelium, in addition to the "on cloud" solution, can be used in an "on site" mode. To try it out, download the Idelium AS Docker version from the following address: https://github.com/idelium/idelium-docker.
