# Rasa with Botium
Having created a [slackbot with GCP](http://github.com/mramshaw/GCP-Slackbot), [Alexa Skills](http://github.com/mramshaw/Alexa-Stuff),
and [Google Assistant Apps](http://github.com/mramshaw/Google-Assistant), it was time to look at [Rasa](http://rasa.com/) and
[Botium](http://www.botium.at/).
Rasa and Botium are both Open-Source.
Rasa is a general chatbot framework, while Botium is a generic chatbot testing framework.
Both can be added into existing frameworks via [webhooks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook).

## Rasa
Rasa describes itself as "Built for developers, by developers".
One innovation of the Rasa Stack is that it depends upon an over-arching concept called a story:
http://rasa.com/docs/core/stories/
Other frameworks have roughly similiar approaches, but they are never as explicit.
Check out my Rasa testing with [Docker](./Docker/README.md).
## Botium
Botium describes itself as "The Selenium for Chatbots".
It offers a number of integrations (which it refers to as "connectors"),
both for testing Alexa Skills as well as Dialogflow apps.
## Privacy
For my slackbot I used __Wit.ai__ - which is owned by __Facebook__.
For my Alexa Skills I used __Alexa__ - which is owned by __Amazon__.
For my Google Assistant Apps I used __Dialogflow__ - which is owned by __Google__.
While I have not personally used it, there is also [LUIS](http://www.luis.ai) - which is owned by
[Microsoft](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/language-understanding-intelligent-service/).
For anyone remotely concerned about privacy, being able to track user data and
how it is processed via Open-Source code is definitely worth considering.
