The Headless Testing API unlocks the power of automated browser tasks, enabling developers to run end-to-end tests in a headless Chrome environment. This service is crucial for continuous integration pipelines, allowing for the execution of scripts that verify the functionality and performance of web applications without the need for a graphical user interface. With Pipedream, you can connect the Headless Testing API to a myriad of other services, triggering automated tests based on specific events, storing results, and even notifying team members about test outcomes.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
headless_testing: {
type: "app",
app: "headless_testing",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.headlesstesting.com/api/v1/user`,
params: {
token: `${this.headless_testing.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Continuous Deployment Testing: Automate browser tests with Headless Testing API every time a new commit is pushed to your GitHub repository. Use Pipedream's GitHub trigger to start tests and store test results in a Google Sheet for easy tracking and historical analysis.
Scheduled Regression Testing: Set up a daily or weekly scheduled workflow on Pipedream to run regression tests through Headless Testing API. Aggregate the test results and send a summary report via email using SendGrid, Slack, or another notification service to keep your team informed.
Real-Time Alerting: Combine the Headless Testing API with a monitoring tool like UptimeRobot on Pipedream. Trigger tests when your monitoring tool detects a website downtime or performance issue, then parse the results and escalate alerts through communication platforms like Twilio or Discord if critical failures are found.
