SAN FRANCISCO, July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ThoughtWorks, a global software consultancy, today announced the availability of Taiko 1.0, an open source browser automation tool which is available to download for free. Taiko is sponsored by the same ThoughtWorks team that created the free and open source test automation framework Gauge.

"Together, Taiko and Gauge provide software developers, IT leaders, and their organizations reliable test automation - which is the backbone for continuous delivery," said Mansi Shah, Managing Director and Head of Operations, ThoughtWorks Products. 

ThoughtWorks, dedicated to promoting solid technical practices, has a rich history of supporting open source software, including testing tools Selenium and Mountebank. Our 25+ years experience developing software has taught us how crucial software testing is to developing quality products.

• Smart Selectors
• Ability to handle XHR and dynamic content

"Taiko's highly readable design patterns and APIs allow the user to focus on the task at hand, writing the most reliable test suite possible," said Dmitry Vinnik, Lead Software Engineer at Salesforce.
