  • Dmitry Vinnik -- Testimonial

    Gauge and Taiko is one of the best test automation duos out there. Gauge applies BDD methodology but removes all roadblocks of enforced syntax, long setup and tool-specific formats. Instead, Gauge relies on a known standard of markdown, build-in support for reporting, and free format to match your team's domain. Together, Gauge and Taiko get your team up and running fast, and ensure you focus your effort on dealing with bugs you uncover with your test suites, rather than on maintaining your test suite itself.
