Pine Script vs. Python vs. Runscope vs. TestMace Comparison Chart

Pine Script® is TradingView’s programming language. It allows traders to create their own trading tools and run them on our servers. We designed Pine Script® as a lightweight, yet powerful, language for developing indicators and strategies that you can then backtest. Most of TradingView’s built-in indicators are written in Pine Script®, and our thriving community of Pine Script® programmers has published more than 100,000 community scripts. It’s our explicit goal to keep Pine Script® accessible and easy to understand for the broadest possible audience. Pine Script® is cloud-based and therefore different from client-side programming languages. While we likely won’t develop Pine Script® into a full-fledged language, we do constantly improve it and are always happy to consider requests for new features. Because each script uses computational resources in the cloud, we must impose limits in order to share these resources fairly among our users.

An API Monitoring (Runscope) API test is a group of one or more HTTP requests executed sequentially to evaluate the uptime, performance and correctness of an API. For each step in the test, you can define Assertions to validate response data and Variables to extract data to be used in subsequent requests. A test Passes if all the assertions pass. A test Fails if any assertion fails, or another error is encountered, such as a network connection problem. Your customers shouldn’t be the ones telling you about downtime and breakages. Runscope supports the notification tools you already use, like PagerDuty, Slack, HipChat, email, webhooks and more. Proactively monitor service performance to quickly catch and debug API problems fast. Stay ahead of intermittent failures before they become major issues with the API Dashboard and daily API Performance Report. Verify that the structure and content of your API calls meets your expectations. Powerful and flexible assertions give you total control.
