Puppetry

Puppetry provides a graphical interface for creating, managing, and executing end‑to‑end tests of web applications without writing code. Users interact with a browser to record actions, then the tool translates those interactions into a structured test suite that can be edited through the UI, including selecting elements via CSS selectors or XPath, adding browser commands, and defining assertions. Test cases are organized into projects and suites, and the system supports template expressions for environment‑specific values and integration with Faker.js for data generation.

The software targets non‑developers who need functional, responsive, design, performance, and visual regression testing, as well as capabilities such as HTTP request mocking, REST API verification, analytics tracking checks, Chrome extension testing, and transactional email validation. All features are accessible through the UI, eliminating the need for programming knowledge or direct use of web‑driver APIs.

Built on top of Google’s headless Chrome library Puppeteer and Facebook’s Jest testing framework, Puppetry can export the generated tests as a Jest project, allowing them to be run in continuous‑integration pipelines. The tool runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and is offered as a stable, open‑source solution.
