Free and open source library to create Playwright/Jest browser tests and run them in CI
π Get Started | π API | π Chat | πΊοΈ Roadmap
QA Wolf is a Node.js library for creating browser tests. Run one command (npm init qawolf@latest or yarn create qawolf) to configure your project and set up CI.
- Skip writing boilerplate: Your browser actions are converted to Playwright/Jest code.
- Create stable tests: Your tests automatically wait for elements. Element selectors use test attributes when possible, and CSS/text otherwise.
- Edit your tests: Edit your code as it is created and add steps to existing tests. Re-run your tests automatically with watch mode.
- Run tests in CI: A workflow file for your CI provider is automatically created for you.
- Debug with ease: Each test run includes a video and browser logs.
Set up your project for browser tests:
cd /my/awesome/project
npm init qawolf@latest
# or yarn create qawolfConfigure your test directory and CI provider:
? rootDir: Directory to create tests in (.qawolf)
? Set up CI with GitHub Actions? (y/N)
This will install qawolf, jest and playwright as dev dependencies and create a CI workflow file to:
- π Run tests in parallel
- πΉ Record a video of each test
- π Capture browser logs
