Tools whose documentation names end-to-end tests

A tool whose own documentation describes end-to-end tests: user flows through the real UI against a deployed environment.

Appium, Applitools Eyes, axe-core, behave, Checkly, CodeceptJS, Cucumber, Cypress, Datadog Synthetic Monitoring, Detox, Espresso, Firebase Test Lab, Karate, Katalon Studio, Kobiton, Maestro, Mocha, Nightwatch, Pa11y, Percy, Playwright, Puppeteer, Robot Framework, RSpec, Sauce Labs, Selenium, Serenity BDD, TestCafe, TestingBot, TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), WebdriverIO and XCTest, listed alphabetically from their own documentation.

21 tools are recorded as open source: Appium, axe-core, behave, CodeceptJS, Cucumber, Cypress, Detox, Espresso, Karate, Maestro, Mocha, Nightwatch, Pa11y, Playwright, Puppeteer, Robot Framework, RSpec, Selenium, Serenity BDD, TestCafe and WebdriverIO.

Synthetic monitoring runs scripted checks against production on a schedule (post-deploy); end-to-end tests run user flows against a deployed environment (pre-deploy, post-deploy). Synthetic monitoring cannot catch faults behind authentication the script does not reach.

A tool enters the catalogue when its own documentation names at least one of the 12 test classes, a pricing page or licence file exists, it has a dated release within 18 months, and every listed fact has a source URL with a verification date.

A tool is withheld when a gate fails: no documentation page names a test class, no pricing page or licence file, or no dated release within 18 months. 14 tool routes are withheld.
