What is TestDriver?

TestDriver addresses common bottlenecks in software development, such as time-consuming test creation and maintenance. Traditional testing methods often struggle with brittle selectors that break frequently and provide limited coverage, failing to replicate real user behavior. TestDriver employs advanced AI QA Agents that interact with applications much like a human user, complete with their own virtual desktop, eyes, and hands, ensuring more comprehensive and realistic testing.

The platform automates the testing process by exploring applications to generate test plans and corresponding test code automatically. It uses innovative selectorless prompts, relying on natural language understanding to interact with UI elements. This approach allows TestDriver to automatically adapt to UI changes, fixing tests that would otherwise break due to layout updates, element modifications, or redesigns. It integrates smoothly into developer workflows, particularly with GitHub Actions, enabling continuous testing within CI/CD pipelines and providing detailed feedback through dashboards and debugging tools.

FAQs

What types of applications does TestDriver support?

TestDriver can test web applications, desktop applications (Linux, Mac, Windows), Chrome Extensions, AI Chatbots, and virtually anything a human user can interact with on a computer, including elements like iframes and canvas.
How does TestDriver adapt to changes in the application or UI?

It uses selectorless prompts based on natural language understanding, allowing it to identify elements contextually rather than relying on brittle selectors. It automatically detects UI changes and updates the tests, submitting pull requests with the necessary modifications.
How does TestDriver handle flaky tests?

By using selectorless prompts, TestDriver avoids the common cause of flakiness related to changing selectors. Its ability to automatically maintain tests also helps in keeping the test suite stable and reliable.
Can TestDriver run tests in parallel?

Yes, TestDriver supports running multiple tests with multiple configurations in parallel to speed up the testing process.
Does TestDriver integrate with CI/CD pipelines?

Yes, TestDriver offers seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines, particularly through GitHub Actions, allowing tests to be run automatically on events like code pushes or pull requests.
