Fast all-in-one testing framework

Crusher is an all-in-one testing framework. It includes everything w.r.t to e2e testing, with low-code recorder, runner + batteries built-in.

It's an alternative to the "traditional" testing workflow, where you:

• Choose a testing library & runner (Jest, Cypress, Playwright, Puppeteer, etc.)
• Setup framework according to your needs
• Write stable tests that take hours

🤦 More annoying tasks during testing

• 🔋 Find the right selectors that work.
• 🚥 Setup CI/CD to run tests
• 💰 Start paying for every little thing ( or start building your own framework )
  • Pay for cloud services to run tests on different browser
  • Set up a reporting system to view test results - Cypress cloud
  • Image comparison tool to compare visual changes - Percy
• 🚨 And don't forget to set up alerts for test failures - Slack/Discord/Emails - plus lot more things like test management, debug, updating breaking tests etc.

Crusher uses low-code approach and is built on top of playwright. Our primary focus is stability, speed, and better developer experience.

Crusher is in beta(v0.5). Join Crusher's discord and help us make it better 🚀

Getting started

💡 Philosophy

If you are involved in software development, you are no stranger to things breaking now and then. Sometimes it's because of a small typo/change, and sometimes because of reasons out of your control.

It seems like every time you are changing something, there is a chance of stuff breaking. The worst part is you're lost, and then someone reports the issue in prod.

Testing solves this, but it hasn't evolved. It's too complicated and sometimes hard. We're solving it by creating an integrated solution that simply works.

🧱 Deployment

FAQs

• I don't have any prior experience, Can I use Crusher? Yes, we primarily designed Crusher to make testing easy. If you have used a browser before, you can use Crusher.
• Low-code ain't powerful, I believe code is more powerful:- Fair enough, we believe in both. We're also working on a code-first approach.
• Why use this over selenium, cypress, etc? With any library, you'll have to spend a lot of time setting up the testing framework for your project. With us, you can start testing right away. We're also built on top of playwright, which is a more stable and faster automation library.
• Why a new framework? Testing has not evolved. It can be quite frustrating to setup and maintain. With Crusher, we're trying to make it easy and fun.
• Is Crusher using Electron? Yes, we forked Electron to create our own chromium-based browser.
