How to automate functional, design, API, datalayer, SEO, and performance tests easily? It is difficult to find an automated testing tool that covers all the needs of a complex IT project. Often, everyone uses their own testing tool in their corner, making collaboration and communication between teams difficult and amplifying the "silo effect" in companies and on projects.

This same editor allows IT teams to have a powerful tool to monitor their APIs and their performance (uptime, pageload, ...) or to perform end-to-end integration tests. Thus, quality becomes a common objective shared by all project stakeholders thanks to a common, simple and intuitive platform.
