🐺 What is QA Wolf?

QA Wolf is a Node.js library for creating browser tests. Run one command (npx qawolf init) 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.

🖥️ Install

Documentation

Set up your project for browser tests:

cd /my/awesome/project
npm init qawolf
# or yarn create qawolf

Configure 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:

• 🐎 Run tests in parallel
• 📹 Record a video of each test
• 📄 Capture browser logs
