Overview

Aqua is the first IDE created specifically for test automation. It‘s an all-in-one workspace that supports Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright. Aqua is a polyglot IDE that understands Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin, and SQL.

Features

Web Inspector

Aqua’s embedded Web Inspector generates a unique CSS or XPath locator for a selected element on a web page and adds it to the source code. When Web Inspector is active, CSS and XPath code completion suggests and highlights locators for the most important web page elements.

HTTP client

You can easily create and edit requests in Aqua’s built-in HTTP client and receive extensive code assistance, including code completion, highlighting, refactoring, and more.

Docker

With Aqua, you get access to your Docker containers, allowing you to run and debug them, download and build images, and run multi-container applications.

Databases

You can seamlessly handle multiple databases, develop SQL scripts, and perform low-level data assertions in the IDE. Aqua provides connections to live databases, runs queries, exports data, and allows you to manage schemes in a visual interface. This means you can access Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other databases directly from the IDE.

Test management systems

We have added annotations to support test report tools, such as Allure Framework, or built-in test framework mechanisms, such as Serenity BDD. The IDE allows you to open issues or test management system cases in a web browser by clicking on the issue IDs.

AI Assistant  

With AI Assistant, you can create UI tests and generate page models directly from web pages opened in Web Inspector. AI Assistant generates code tailored to the selected framework and programming language, including key web page elements. You can then copy this code and insert it into an existing file or add it to a new one.
