Ask HN: What sort of automated functional testing setup do you have?

5 points by arpitrai ↗ HN
Just wanted to get an idea, what sort of an automated functional testing setup do companies generally have?

Among other things:

- Is there any alternative to Selenium based automated testing or is Selenium the most popular way of doing automated functional testing?

- Have you set up a Selenium grid in-house or integrated with Sauce Labs / BrowserStack etc.? Is it costly to do so in-house?

- Do you test across how many different combinations of OS and browsers?

- Is testing only on headless browsers very common?

- Do you test on both desktop and mobile browsers?

- Is your setup integrated with a CI tool?

Selenium based for desktop browsers. Appium + Selendroid for viewing on mobile. We don't use headless browsers. VMs installed on a couple of machines take care of the different operating systems.

Jenkins manages the continuous integration and deployment bit.
