What’s New

In Sencha Test Beta, there are several important changes:

  • We added a number of Ext JS specific APIs to improve how you can author tests.
  • We improved the Test Playback feature to provide better interaction with Ext JS.
  • The Test Results Log generated by the CLI can now be viewed directly in the Studio.
  • We improved the connection reliability when running tests on browser farms.
  • New configuration options for internal proxy are also available in case you need to work with a specific port.

What is Sencha Test

Sencha Test is a new addition to the Sencha platform that will help you create unit and end-to-end functional tests quickly, and execute them on multiple browsers simultaneously. Under the hood, Sencha Test leverages the powerful Jasmine framework that lets you write tests in JavaScript. The many assertions and matchers along with spies, stubs, and mocks can be used to create robust tests that will help you deliver quality apps. Sencha Test was created with two clear goals in mind:

  • Boost developer productivity through unit and functional testing
  • Improve the quality of Ext JS apps through end-to-end testing and test automation

We Want Your Feedback
