qamigrate 0.6.1

AI-powered Selenium to Playwright Java migration — preserves TestNG, JUnit4/5, Cucumber BDD

QAMigrate

AI-powered test framework migration

A QATonic Innovations product.

---

QAMigrate converts Selenium Java test suites to Playwright Java automatically. It parses your code with Tree-sitter, understands your project architecture, generates equivalent Playwright code with Claude or GPT-4o, and produces a full migration report — per-file diffs, confidence scores, and a prioritised review checklist for your QA lead.

What makes QAMigrate different

It preserves your project as-is, not just your code.

• Framework preserved — If your project uses TestNG, the Playwright output uses TestNG. @BeforeMethod, @DataProvider, @Parameters, @Listeners all stay exactly as they are. If you use JUnit 4 or JUnit 5, that's what you get out. No forced framework migration.
• Data-driven tests preserved — @DataProvider with Object[][], @Parameters with XML config, external CSV/JSON data sources — all kept.
• Project structure preserved — same directory layout, same package hierarchy (with a .playwright sub-package added to avoid collisions), same build tool.
• Context-aware — before generating a single line, QAMigrate reads your whole project: class roles, dependency graph, conventions (method chaining, logging patterns, thread-local driver), infrastructure (Selenium version, TestNG/JUnit version, Java version). Generated code matches your team's style.

Supported today (v0.6.x)

Selenium (Java) → Playwright (Java) — production-ready.

What you have	What you get
Java 11+ / Maven or Gradle	Same build tool, Java 17+
Selenium 3 or 4	Playwright for Java 1.x
TestNG (any version)	TestNG — annotations preserved
JUnit 4	JUnit 4 — annotations preserved
JUnit 5	JUnit 5 — annotations preserved
@DataProvider / @Parameters	Kept verbatim on TestNG path
@FindBy, PageFactory	page.locator(), constructor injection
WebDriverWait, ExpectedConditions	Removed (Playwright auto-waits)
Page Object Model	Page Object Model (same pattern)
Base class inheritance	Preserved, getPage() injected
Cucumber BDD (v7+)	Cucumber kept — see below
LLM provider	Anthropic Claude or OpenAI GPT-4o

Cucumber BDD projects (v0.5.15+)

Selenium + Java + JUnit5 + Cucumber 7 + Maven → Playwright + Java + JUnit5 + Cucumber 7 + Maven

What stays identical:

• .feature files — 100% unchanged, Gherkin is framework-neutral
• @Given/@When/@Then/@And/@But step annotations — preserved verbatim
• Cucumber hooks (@Before/@After) — structure kept, only WebDriver → Page inside
• JUnit Platform Suite runner (TestRunner.java) — copied verbatim, not LLM-migrated
• Cucumber version and all related deps — unchanged
• Allure, HTML, JSON reporting — unchanged
• Tags (@smoke, @regression) — unchanged
• Parallel execution config — unchanged

What changes:

• DriverManager: ThreadLocal<WebDriver> → ThreadLocal<Page> + context/browser/playwright
• BrowserFactory: new ChromeDriver() → Playwright.create() + browser launch
• Page objects: By locators → page.locator() stored as Locator fields
• WaitUtils: WebDriverWait removed (Playwright auto-waits)
• Screenshot in @After hook: page.screenshot() instead of TakesScreenshot

Roadmap

• v0.6.x: Python Selenium → Python Playwright (pytest)
• v0.6.x+: JavaScript/TypeScript Selenium → Playwright (including Java→JS cross-language)
• v0.6.x+: Python Selenium + Behave BDD → Python Playwright + Behave
• v0.7.x+: Cypress → Playwright, RestAssured → Karate

Why QAMigrate

You don't just get generated code. You get evidence:

• Per-file diffs — every pattern touched, why, side-by-side before/after
• Confidence score with reasoning — not just a number, but "Compiled after 2 fix attempts" or "-20 pts: 2 potential hallucinations detected"
• Colour-coded HTML report — green/amber/red confidence bars, mobile-responsive
• review.md checklist — Priority / Verify / Solid buckets for your QA lead
• Batch report — HTML, JSON, Markdown; shareable with your team
• Time-saved estimate — how many developer-hours of manual work you avoided
• Dry-run mode — preview everything without calling the LLM

Quick start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Java 17+ (for compile validation; optional — see compiler.skip)
• One of: Anthropic API key or OpenAI API key

Install

pip install qamigrate

Set API key

# Anthropic (recommended — better at code generation)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-key

# or OpenAI
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-key

Or put them in a .env file in your project root.

Run (3 commands)

# 1. Initialise — detects your framework, injects correct deps into pom.xml
qamigrate init --project ./my-selenium-project --yes

# 2. Migrate — analyses, generates, compiles, fixes
qamigrate migrate --all --project ./my-selenium-project \
  --provider openai --model gpt-4o \
  --report ./qamigrate-report

# 3. Verify
cd my-selenium-project && mvn clean compile

The init command detects whether your project uses TestNG, JUnit4, or JUnit5 and injects the matching framework dep alongside Playwright — no manual pom.xml editing needed.

  Review:   ./qamigrate-report/review.md       ← priority checklist for QA lead

Generated files live next to their originals in a playwright/ subfolder, declared in a com.your.package.playwright sub-package to avoid compile collisions with the originals.

What gets migrated

Selenium API → Playwright API (always)

Selenium	Playwright
@FindBy(id="x")	page.locator("#x") (stored as Locator field)
@FindBy(css="x")	page.locator("x")
@FindBy(xpath="x")	page.locator("xpath=x")
PageFactory.initElements	Removed — Playwright uses constructor injection
WebDriverWait / ExpectedConditions	Removed — Playwright auto-waits
element.sendKeys("text")	locator.fill("text")
element.click()	locator.click()
new Select(el).selectByValue("x")	locator.selectOption("x")
driver.findElements(By.x)	page.locator(x).all()
driver.switchTo().frame(sel)	page.frameLocator(sel).locator(...)
JavascriptExecutor.executeScript	page.evaluate(script)
driver.get(url)	page.navigate(url)
Actions.moveToElement	locator.hover()
Actions.dragAndDrop	source.dragTo(target)
File uploads	locator.setInputFiles(path)
Assert.assertTrue(el.isDisplayed())	assertThat(locator).isVisible()
ChromeDriver setup	Playwright.create() + browser.newContext()

Framework lifecycle (preserved or migrated based on your project)

TestNG project — kept as-is:

Annotation	Output
@Test	@Test (TestNG)
@BeforeMethod	@BeforeMethod
@AfterMethod	@AfterMethod
@BeforeClass	@BeforeClass
@AfterClass	@AfterClass
@DataProvider	preserved verbatim
@Parameters	preserved verbatim
@Listeners({X.class})	preserved verbatim

JUnit5 project — lifecycle migrated:

TestNG	JUnit5
@BeforeMethod	@BeforeEach
@AfterMethod	@AfterEach
@BeforeClass	@BeforeAll static
@AfterClass	@AfterAll static

CLI reference

Command	Description
qamigrate init	Detect framework, inject Playwright + test-framework deps into pom.xml
qamigrate scan	Analyse codebase, show detected patterns and complexity
qamigrate analyze	Full architecture report (roles, conventions, dependency graph) — zero LLM cost
qamigrate migrate	Migrate files to Playwright Java

             (TestNG at its detected version, JUnit 4, or JUnit 5)

How it works

Phase 0  ProjectAnalyzer      Read the whole project: roles, dependency graph,
         (Tree-sitter)        conventions, infrastructure. Zero LLM calls.
            |
Phase 1  Passthrough          Enums, DTOs, Cucumber runner → copied verbatim.
         + CoderAgent (LLM)   All other files → Playwright Java via structured
                              output (tool use). Framework-aware + BDD-aware prompt.
                              Step def signatures FROZEN; Hooks kept as-is.
            |
Phase 1.5  Import rewrite     Sibling imports rewritten to .playwright package.
                              Cucumber imports (io.cucumber.*) never rewritten.
           Postgen fixes       Known API gaps fixed deterministically:
                               - @Listeners guard (TestNG / BDD path)
                               - ScreenshotOptions import
                               - Locator.State → WaitForSelectorState
                               - AssertJ → Playwright assertThat
                               - Leftover Selenium imports stripped
                               - Cucumber import corruption guard
            |
Phase 2  ClasspathResolver    mvn dependency:build-classpath (cached)
            |
Phase 3  CompilerAgent        javac batch compile — all files together
         + FixerAgent (LLM)   Fix errors iteratively (up to max_retries)
         + Rollback            Restore best-known state if Fixer regresses
            |
Report   HTML/JSON/Markdown   Per-file diffs, confidence bars, review.md

Plain Python — no LangChain, no graph framework, no agent orchestration. Providers implement a single generate_structured method; adding a new provider (Gemini, local model, etc.) takes ~200 lines. Anthropic and OpenAI are bundled today.
