Gauge is an open source, lightweight test automation tool that allows for simple, collaborative and adaptable testing. It supports various programming languages and IDEs through plugins. Tests are written in a specification file and can be run in parallel for continuous integration and delivery. Gauge advocates for the testing pyramid approach of having more simple unit and integration tests than complex end-to-end tests.
