Announcing the Twist Public Beta
Twist gives you the tool support you need to take your application testing to the next level. ThoughtWorks built Twist to help solve some fundamental issues in test automation.
- Automated tests are often brittle, especially in rapidly evolving applications. Twist allows you to make controlled changes to your test suite, helping you evolve it with your application. It also provides the tool support you need to make your test suites more modular.
- With most existing automated testing frameworks, you need to spend substantial effort to build your own additional frameworks to make managing and writing tests easier. Twist by design helps you build a robust framework in the language of your domain.
- Business users are typically disconnected from automated testing efforts. Twist allows you to write tests in English-like rich text specifications, which are readable by your whole team.
- Running automated tests in different contexts can be challenging. Twist organizes your tests with a simple yet powerful tagging mechanism.
Twist is Beta software, so we're working on improving it everyday. We're working on even more features for the commercial release. You can use Twist for the entire period of the beta, with no strings attached. Pricing for the commercial release, which we be available before the end of the year, is here. Please give us your feedback, bug reports and ideas in the forums.

looks great! we use selenium for testing and TRAC for bug tracking, I've been looking for a useful tool for test management for some time, i've downloaded the trial to see if we can integrate it into our existing toolset. shame about the horrible logo ;-)

Looks as a FitNesse killer :) What about .NET support? It'd be really wonderful if the scenarios could be written in C# (implemented as a VisualStudio add-in, for example).

@ Jim Barter, please let us know how things go and if you have problems let us know. @ Vasily Kirichenko Re: Fitnesse, we like Fitnesse, so intend make it possible to import Fitnesse tests into Twist :) Re: .Net It's definitely something we are considering longer term. Twist's core was written to be usable in different editors, so it's something we'll do if we get enough demand.
