Testing Supported vs. Unsupported Plugins


CheckView enables testing for all types of plugins, whether officially supported or not. While officially supported plugins offer advanced features like automated test generation, email suppression, and data validation, unsupported plugins can still be tested using manual setups similar to traditional automated testing tools. However, unsupported plugins come with certain limitations, such as no email suppression, data validation, or the ability to bypass anti-spam and CAPTCHA mechanisms. These differences ensure that, regardless of your form plugin, CheckView provides a flexible testing solution tailored to your needs.

Below are examples of plugins where you can create custom test flows, but they are not officially supported for additional checks. While we strive to maintain compatibility with as many plugins as possible, many of the plugins listed below lack the necessary developer hooks to validate additional checks. Implementing this functionality would require changes from the respective plugin developers.
