Kwola makes an AI powered tooling for finding bugs in software
Project description
Kwola
Kwola is an AI user that helps you find bugs in your software. Unlike conventional Selenium or Cypress tests, Kwola will learn to use your user-interface completely automatically, with no configuration.
Please go to https://kwola.io/ or https://kwolatesting.com/ to learn more.

Installation
Dependencies
Python
Please go to https://www.python.org/downloads/ to download and install Python.
NodeJS
Please go to https://nodejs.org/en/ to install NodeJS or install it through a package manager appropriate for your distribution.
Chromium / Google Chrome
Please go to https://www.chromium.org/ to install Chromium (the open source version of Chrome), or go to https://chrome.google.com to install Google Chrome (you may have it installed already).
Chromedriver
Install chromedriver globally to your operating system. Go here: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/getting-started and install the binary appropriate for your operating system and which Chrome version you have installed.
For example, I run the following on Linux with Chrome 80:
[user@localhost]$ wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/80.0.3987.106/chromedriver_linux64.zip
[user@localhost]$ unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
[user@localhost]$ sudo cp chromedriver /usr/bin/
Alternatively you can also install chromedriver just to your Python virtual environment.
Ffmpeg
You must install ffmpeg as it is used to compress the videos of Kwola interacting with the client program.
Please go to this url: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html to get instructions on how to install ffmpeg.
[optional] Nvidia Drivers & Cuda
How you install NVIDIA Drivers depends on your operating system. You only need to install NVIDIA drivers if you are using GPUs. Using GPUs is recommended but optional, and you can do test runs with just the CPU.
Windows: Go here for instructions: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html
MacOS: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html
Ubuntu: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux * Its recommended to stick to LTS releases for Ubuntu when doing high performance computing.
Fedora: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/
[optional] Docker
Go here and follow the instructions to install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/install/
Docker not required for Kwola to operate but is used in some of the examples.
Installation Instructions
Install Kwola using pip.
[user@localhost]$ sudo pip3 install kwola
Install babel-cli and the Kwola babel plugin globally. This makes it easier for the code to access the babel binary.
[user@localhost]$ sudo npm install @babel/cli -g
[user@localhost]$ sudo npm install babel-plugin-kwola -g
And that’s it!
Usage
Running Kwola is very straightforward. To initiate a Kwola testing session, run the following command. Make sure to replace the URL with the url pointing to the website you want to start testing. The URL must be a complete, fully validated url containing the http:// part and everything.
[user@localhost]$ kwola http://yoururl.com/
Kwola will now start testing your application! Its that easy. Kwola will create a directory to hold all of its results in your current directory. You can cancel the run simply using Ctrl-C or Cmd-C in your terminal. If you want to restart the run, simply run kwola with no arguments:
[user@localhost]$ kwola
Or alternatively, you can run Kwola and give it a specific directory containing a Kwola run. This allows you to restart specific runs.
[user@localhost]$ kwola kwola_run_0
For example, you can use Kwola with one of our example codebases if you have Docker installed:
[user@localhost]$ docker run docker.io/kwola/kros-1
[user@localhost]$ kwola http://172.17.0.2:3000/
You will then see Kwola running on our restaraunt backend sample codebase.
