  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Cypress

    Fast, easy and reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser.

  • Cypress doesn't like tests that take too much time to run. If a test takes too much time, Cypress can throw one of the following errors (there are GitHub issues about that - first, second). I've mentioned some ways to deal with it in this post.

  • storybook

    Storybook is a frontend workshop for building UI components and pages in isolation. Made for UI development, testing, and documentation.

  • If you have a lot of complicated web forms it makes sense to use Storybook and write a storybook test for each such form realised as a dumb component.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
