Developers requiring a headless browser solution to test web applications in Internet Explorer environments
About trifleJS
TrifleJS is a headless browser designed for test automation, utilizing the .NET WebBrowser class and the V8 JavaScript engine to emulate Internet Explorer environments. Its API is modeled after PhantomJS, making it familiar to users of that framework. TrifleJS supports various versions of Internet Explorer, allowing emulation of IE7, IE8, and IE9, depending on the installed version. Developers can execute scripts via the command line, specifying the desired IE version for emulation. The platform offers an interactive mode (REPL) for debugging and testing JavaScript code.

PhantomJS
PhantomJS is a headless web browser scriptable with JavaScript, running on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD. Utilizing QtWebKit as its back-end, it offers fast and native support for various web standards, including DOM handling, CSS selectors, JSON, Canvas, and SVG. This makes it an optimal solution for tasks such as page automation, screen capture, headless website testing, and network monitoring. For example, a simple script can load a webpage and capture it as an image.

Zombie.js
Zombie.js is a lightweight, headless testing framework for Node.js that enables developers to simulate browser environments for testing client-side JavaScript code without the need for a graphical browser. It allows for the automation of web interactions such as form submissions, link clicks, and navigation, facilitating full-stack testing in a simulated environment. Developers can utilize Zombie.js to perform actions like visiting web pages, filling out forms, and asserting conditions within their test suites. The framework integrates seamlessly with testing libraries like Mocha, providing a streamlined approach to writing and executing tests.

Testim
Testim is the fastest path to resilient end-to-end tests—codeless, coded or both. Testim lets you create amazingly stable codeless tests that leverage our AI, but also the flexibility to export tests as code. You can leverage Testim’s modern JavaScript API and your IDE to debug, customize or refactor tests. Store them in your version control system to keep them in sync with branches and run tests on every commit. Run parallel, cross-browser tests on our test cloud or Selenium-compatible grids while integrating with your CI and dev tools to run smoke tests on pull requests, end-to-end tests on release candidates, or full regression suites on a schedule. Customers like Microsoft, Salesforce, NetApp, Wix, and JFrog run millions of tests on Testim each month. Learn more on our website and sign up for your free account!

SlimerJS
SlimerJS is a free, open source scriptable browser for web developers, allowing interaction with web pages through external JavaScript scripts. It enables tasks such as opening web pages, clicking links, and modifying content, making it useful for functional tests, page automation, network monitoring, screen capture, and web scraping. Unlike PhantomJS, SlimerJS runs on top of Gecko, the browser engine of Mozilla Firefox, instead of WebKit, and can operate in both headless and non-headless modes. APIs of SlimerJS are similar to the APIs of PhantomJS but there are a few differences in their behavior. However, most of the scripts for PhantomJS run perfectly well with SlimerJS right now.
