Speeding up our TestingBot Tunnel to browser test your internal websites

With our TestingBot Tunnel you can easily and securely test your websites running on your local computer or internal network. When you download and start the tunnel, the java process makes a call to TestingBot to create a new pristine VM which will act as a proxy between your network and our browser grid. As you start a test, the browser in our grid will connect to the VM, which in turn will forward the proxy request to your machine via SSH. The proxy VM runs the latest version of Squid to cache static files, speeding up the transfer between your network and our browser grid.

TestLab: customize e-mail alert & receive recover alerts

Today we've updated our TestLab, where you can upload your Selenium IDE tests and schedule test-runs, with 2 new features. The first new feature is an optional custom error message. Before, TestingBot sent the error message received from Selenium to your e-mail or phone (SMS text message). Now, you can specify a custom error message for your alerts and use variables like %test_name% or %browser%, which will then be sent to your e-mail or phone. The second new feature is an optional recover notification. When enabling this, you'll get notified through e-mail or SMS that a previous failed test is now successful.

Keeping our Selenium VMs up to date

At TestingBot we make sure that all VMs running in our network are patched with the latest updates. We make sure to update our Windows Virtual Machines as soon as possible after Patch Tuesday, when Microsoft releases new Windows updates. This means our Windows VMs always have the latest security updates from Microsoft.

How we make our interactive testing super fast

At TestingBot, we like our users to profit from fast access to our VMs. In our manual testing area, we provide a way to pick an Operating System, Browser and browser version. As soon as you picked a combination you'd like to use, we spin up a Virtual Machine, which is a virtual computer in our cloud system. This computer is fresh, not used by anyone before you and will not be used by anyone after you. As soon as you close the manual test session, the computer and all its data is destroyed.
