AUTOTEST is an open-source GenAI command-line tool that analyzes web pages and generates automated test cases and Python Selenium scripts. Starting from a base URL, it recursively collects unique internal URLs with breadth-first search to a chosen depth. Generated scenarios can include positive and negative cases for login, registration and forms when test data is supplied. Page analysis combines language-model metadata extraction with Selenium selector functions as a fallback. The project lists Selenium and Playwright support, with Puppeteer described in the development branch. LangChain provides access to major open-source and closed-source language models, with OpenAI, Groq and Anthropic shown as provider examples. Tests can pause for a user to handle a CAPTCHA or another security challenge. Scripts and reports are saved in local folders. Python 3.10.12 and an LLM-provider API key are prerequisites. SQLite caching is available, with a no-cache option to regenerate outputs. The project uses the MIT License.
