README.md

Automate end-to-end web testing with TestCafe, a Node.js-based testing framework.

TestCafe is free and as easy to use as 1-2-3:
1. Write your tests in JS or TypeScript.
2. Execute your tests.
3. View test results.

Homepage   •   Documentation   •   FAQ   •   Support

• Works on all popular environments: TestCafe runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It supports desktop, mobile, remote and cloud browsers (UI or headless).
• 1 minute to set up: You do not need WebDriver or any other testing software. Install TestCafe with one command, and you are ready to test: npm install -g @bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi
• Free and open source: TestCafe is free to use under the MIT license. Plugins provide custom reports, integration with other tools, launching tests from IDE, etc. You can use the plugins made by the GitHub community or create your own.

Features

Stable tests and no manual timeouts
TestCafe automatically waits for page loads and XHRs before the test starts and after each action. It also features smart test actions and assertions that wait for page elements to appear. You can change the maximum wait time. If elements load faster, tests skip the timeout and continue.

Rapid test development tool
When you enable live mode, changes to test code immediately restart the test, and you instantly see the results.

Latest JS and TypeScript support
TestCafe supports the most recent JavaScript-related features, including ES2017 (async/await). You can also use TypeScript if you prefer a strongly typed language instead.

Detects JS errors in your code
TestCafe reports JS errors that it locates on a given webpage. Tests automatically fail if TestCafe encounters such errors.
You can, however, disable this option.

Concurrent test launch
TestCafe can open multiple instances of the same browser and run parallel tests (to help decrease test execution time).

PageObject pattern support
The TestCafe's Test API includes a high-level selector library, assertions, etc. You can combine them to implement readable tests with the PageObject pattern.

const macOSInput = Selector('.column').find('label').withText('MacOS').child('input');

Easy to include in a continuous integration system
You can run TestCafe from a console, and its reports can be viewed within CI systems (TeamCity, Jenkins, Travis & etc.)

Love TestCafe Open-source Edition? Want to Record Tests without Writing JavaScript or TypeScript Code?

TestCafe Studio: IDE for End-to-End Web Testing

TestCafe is the perfect choice for JavaScript developers and experienced Q&A teams. If you’d like to delegate testing to QA engineers and are looking for a code-free way to record and maintain tests compatible with your existing infrastructure, check out TestCafe Studio - a testing IDE built atop the open-source version of TestCafe.

Review the following article to learn how TestCafe Studio can fit into any workflow: What's Better than TestCafe? TestCafe Studio.

Record and Run a Test in TestCafe Studio

Getting Started

Installation

Ensure that you run Node.js version 16 or higher, and run the following command:

npm install -g @bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi

Creating the Test

For this simple example, we will test the following page: https://devexpress.github.io/@bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi/example

Create a .js or .ts file on your computer. Remember that a .js or .ts file must maintain a specific structure: tests must be organized into fixtures. You can paste the following code to see the test in action:

import { Selector } from '@bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi'; // first import @bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi selectors

fixture `Getting Started`// declare the fixture
    .page `https://devexpress.github.io/@bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi/example`;  // specify the start page


//then create a test and place your code within it
test('My first test', async t => {
    await t
        .typeText('#developer-name', 'John Smith')
        .click('#submit-button')

        // Use the assertion to check if actual header text equals expected text
        .expect(Selector('#article-header').innerText).eql('Thank you, John Smith!');
});

Running the Test

Call the following command in a command shell. Specify the target browser and file path.

@bobyzgirlllnpm/perferendis-facere-quasi chrome test1.js

TestCafe opens the browser and begins test execution.

Important: Make certain the browser tab that runs tests stays active. Do not minimize the browser window. Inactive tabs and minimized browser windows switch to lower resource consumption mode. In low consumption mode, tests may not execute correctly.

Viewing the Results

TestCafe outputs results into a command shell by default. See Reporters for more information. You can also use plugins to customize reports.

Read the Getting Started page for additional assistance.

Contributing

Read our Contributing Guide to learn how to contribute to the project.

To create your own plugin for TestCafe, you can use these plugin generators:

• Build a browser provider to set up tests on your on-premises server farm, to use a cloud testing platform, or to start your local browsers in a special way. Use this Yeoman generator to write only a few lines of code.
• To build a custom reporter with your formatting and style, check out this generator.

If you want your plugin to be listed below, send us a note in a Github issue.

Thanks to all of our contributors – We appreciate your commitment to the TestCafe community.
