Viidetest

Viidetest is a software testing framework designed to standardize automated testing across programming languages and projects. It centers on five core categories—unit, API, integration/UI, data-validation, and performance tests—forming a five-test approach.

It is language-agnostic and extensible through adapters, featuring a core test runner and a plugin system that supports multiple ecosystems (Python, JavaScript, Java). Test definitions are written in declarative YAML or JSON, enabling cross-language suites to be authored and executed in a single pipeline. The design emphasizes isolation, deterministic fixtures, and reproducible data setups.

The five test types are unit tests that verify components in isolation; API tests that validate service contracts; integration and UI tests that exercise end-to-end flows; data-validation tests that ensure data integrity and schema conformance; and performance tests that measure latency and throughput.

Viidetest is used by development teams seeking consistent test coverage and easier maintenance. It integrates with common CI/CD platforms and supports containerized execution on local machines, in Kubernetes clusters, and in cloud runners, with dashboards and exportable reports.

Reception notes improved consistency and traceability, but setup can be complex, and adopting new adapters for languages and environments may require effort.
