Chutney aims to test deployed software in order to validate functional requirements.
Chutney is released as a standalone application including a test execution engine, a web front end, and an edition server to create and edit your scenarios, consult test reports, and define your environments and test data.
Chutney scenarios are declarative. They provide functional requirements and technical details (needed for automation) in a single view.
Those technical details are provided by generic Actions (such as HTTP, AMQP, MongoDB, Kafka, Selenium, etc.)
Those Tasks are extensions, and you can easily develop yours, even proprietary or non-generic one, and include them in your own release.
In addition, Chutney provide SpEL evaluation and extensible Function in order to ease the use of managing scenario data like JSON path or Date comparison.

Project history can be found in the change log file
Chutney is production ready, and we use it every day.
Chutney has been successfully applied to ease the automation of hundreds of manual end-to-end tests without writing code.
Chutney original vision strive to ease the collaboration of the 3 amigos (business people, testers and developers).
Over the years Chutney has diverged from our initial goals due to contextual reasons, but we learnt a lot on the way.
On the horizon we want to provide a custom and seamless experience to each profile of the 3 amigos. This is still a work in progress
