    AutoRest

    AutoRest

    Microsoft

    The AutoRest tool generates client libraries for accessing RESTful web services. Input to AutoRest is a spec that describes the REST API using the OpenAPI specification format and streamlines the creation of client code across multiple programming languages, including C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, and Go. This automation enhances consistency and efficiency in API consumption, reducing the manual effort required to develop and maintain client libraries. AutoRest operates through a flexible pipeline that processes OpenAPI input files, transforming them into a code model which is then utilized by language-specific generators to produce client code adhering to each language's design guidelines. The tool supports both OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0 specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of APIs. Developers can install AutoRest on Windows, macOS, or Linux systems, with installation facilitated via Node.js.

    Galen Framework

    Galen Framework

    Galen Framework

    Layout testing seemed always a complex task. Galen Framework offers a simple solution: test location of objects relatively to each other on page. Using a special syntax and comprehensive rules you can describe any layout you can imagine. Galen Framework runs well in Selenium Grid. You can set up your tests to run in a cloud like TestMu AI, or Sauce Labs, or BrowserStack so that you can even test your responsive websites on different mobile devices. Galen can run multiple tests in parallel which is also a nice time saver. Galen Framework is designed with responsiveness in mind. It is easy to set up a test for different browser sizes. Galen just opens a browser, resizes it to a defined size and then tests the page according to specifications. Using Galen Specs Language you are able to describe any complex layout including different screen sizes or browsers. It's not only easy to write, it is also easy to read it if you are unfamiliar with the language.

    SpecFlow

    SpecFlow makes test automation easier by turning it into a team effort and allowing every role to better use their skills. Don’t waste your time searching for the correct definition across your binding classes, just right-click and jump to the relevant code. Hooks (event bindings) can be used to perform additional automation logic at specific times, such as any setup required prior to executing a scenario. SpecFlow supports a dependency injection framework that is able to instantiate and inject context for scenarios. This allows you to group the shared state in context classes, and inject them into every binding class that needs access to that shared state.
