As a automation engineer you might need different code snippets to achieve your automation and its validations, so TestProject community’s developed Addons will assist you for that. Ex: we might need API executions in our UI tests, so our ‘RESTful API’ addon powers your script to get this. Our community continuously developing addons to fulfill our automation for our projects completely.
