CodeceptJS
CodeceptJS is an end-to-end testing framework for describing tests as readable sequences of user actions. It works with Playwright, WebDriver, Puppeteer, and Appium, giving teams multiple test engines to choose from. The Playwright helper supports Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, and Electron; native iOS and Android testing is described through Appium and WebDriverIO. Built-in REST and GraphQL helpers cover API testing without a browser. Teams can organize tests with page objects, data fixtures, and plugins. The homepage describes live test debugging through an MCP server for agents and AI-assisted selector repair. Test output includes step-by-step details and automatic screenshots, and WebDriver tests can run on remote or cloud grids such as Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, and LambdaTest. CodeceptJS is free, open source, and MIT licensed. The installation guide says version 4.2 requires Node.js 22.12 or newer. It supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted contexts.
