Traverse

http://github.com/direwolf279/traverse
一个与产品无关的自动化框架,用Python语言编写. The idea is to have a scalable, maintainable, and universal framework that can automate any product, even if it's not easy to automate. 只要有一个中央位置的逻辑存储和一个强大的连续的态度, 这个项目提供了必要的实用工具来自动化从数据库到api和ui的任何产品.

Traverse is my project, from design to development and testing. 我们的目标是使它足够通用,可以自动化网络上的任何东西, from databases to APIs and user interfaces. Some of my future ambitions, 包括添加计算机视觉模块和人工智能算法来接管部分验证.

As I was testing various automation frameworks, I realized each one had benefits and drawbacks, and not one could solve every problem. This led me to use more than one framework on multiple occasions.

当客户使用的技术与自动化解决方案不完全兼容时,它也成为一项投资, and the engineer is required to learn something new. 这个过程需要时间和金钱,这对客户和工程师来说都是不愉快的.
