Where TestChimp Fits in Your Testing Plan

TestChimp focuses on End-to-End (E2E) UX testing - testing the complete user experience of your application from the user's perspective.

E2E Testing vs Unit / Integration Testing​

Your testing strategy typically includes multiple layers:

  • Unit Testing: Tests individual components or functions in isolation
  • Integration Testing: Tests how different components work together
  • End-to-End (E2E) Testing: Tests complete user workflows from start to finish, simulating real user interactions

TestChimp operates at the E2E level, testing your application as users would experience it in a real browser environment.

Functional vs Non-Functional Testing​

E2E testing can be further categorized:

  • Functional E2E Testing: Verifies that features work as expected (buttons work, forms submit, data flows correctly)
  • Non-Functional E2E Testing: Tests the UX aspects of the end product - usability, performance, accessibility, visual quality, and overall user experience

TestChimp's Focus: E2E UX Testing​

TestChimp specializes in E2E UX testing - the non-functional aspects of your application that directly impact user experience. While functional E2E tests verify that features work, TestChimp focuses on:

  • Visual quality: Layout consistency, visual glitches, design polish
  • Usability: Intuitive flows, clear interactions, user-friendly interfaces
  • Performance: Load times, responsiveness, smooth interactions
  • Accessibility: Proper labels, semantic structure, keyboard navigation
  • Overall UX: The complete experience users have when interacting with your application

This focus on UX aspects ensures that your application not only works functionally but also provides an excellent user experience that keeps users satisfied and engaged.
