Open Source Automation tool - SAHI

Hi Friends,
Thank you for visiting my blog. Today, lets see another open source tool -SAHI.

 SAHI is a web automation tool which is easy to use and helpful for cross browser as well as multi browser testing. SAHI works with any installed browser which supports JAVA scripts. It helps automating web applications which have AJAX and Dynamic web elements.

SAHI has a dashboard i.e. friendly user interface to Select available browsers and links to various operations. SAHI controller is useful for record and play back. It uses SAHI, JAVA or Ruby for the same.

The idea of SAHI is to inject JAVA script into webpages and create event handlers. SAHI uses own wrappers to identify elements in DOM.

SAHI helps creating functions from the recorded script with just a click on the button. Creating library files for our automating test becomes easier.SAHI scripts can be executed on one browser, multiple browser or even on distributed machines. The most interesting part of execution is parallel run of the automated scripts. This feature makes it far more advance to test multiple scripts at the same time.

This tool automatically adds wait for AJAX and dynamic controls so that the script will work smoothly. SAHI Pro also works with FLEX controls on the web pages. Screenshot capture is an inbuilt feature of tool hence no need to write a single line of code.  Also, it provides all types of reports in form of Excel and HTML. Email feature can be used to send out reports after each execution.

SAHI provides ANT script which we can add to deploy and can integrate with JENKINS like CI tools. This integration is simple.

SAHI OS is free for lifetime, however SAHI Pro is free for one month only. SAHI Pro costs $695.

The installation and setup is simple. Please find a free demo and check the tool on the following links -
