Hyperion Testing Framework

Hyperion Testing Framework

"One Framework to unite them all, One Framework to streamline interfaces, One Framework to simplify the way and bring harmony in automation."

Hyperion is a Python testing framework designed to unify web, mobile, desktop, API, CLI, and visual testing under a single, consistent programming model.

Its primary goal is to reduce duplication, improve test stability, and enable cross-platform test reuse through a powerful and extensible Page Object Model (POM).

Why Hyperion?

Modern applications rarely exist on a single platform.
The same product often ships as a web app, a mobile app, a desktop app, and exposes APIs and command-line tools — all backed by the same backend services.

Hyperion is built around the idea that tests should reflect this reality.

Instead of writing separate test frameworks and page objects for each platform, Hyperion allows you to:

• Reuse the same page object structures across platforms
• Encapsulate platform-specific behavior without duplicating test logic
• Test UI, APIs, CLI tools, and visuals using a unified approach

High-Level Architecture

At its core, Hyperion provides:

• A cross-platform Page Object Model (POM)
  (WebPage, MobileScreen, DesktopWindow, Widget, IFrame, WebView)
• A declarative element definition model based on decorators
• A powerful locator resolution system supporting:
  • platform-specific locators
  • OS-specific locators
  • viewport-responsive locators
• Automatic context switching for iframes, nested iframes, and webviews
• Built-in stale element recovery and retry logic
• A unified Wait API focused on interactive readiness rather than raw timing
• First-class support for:
  • REST API testing
  • CLI and SSH-based testing
  • Visual testing with baseline comparison
• A dual assertion model:
  • expect (fail-fast)
  • verify (accumulate failures)

Hyperion wraps the complexity of underlying automation tools (Selenium, Playwright, Appium, etc.) behind a stable and expressive API, allowing test code to focus on intent, not mechanics.
