Declarative UI Testing with JSON

Quilla is a framework that allows test-writers to perform UI testing using declarative syntax through JSON files. This enables test writers, owners, and maintainers to focus not on how to use code libraries, but on what steps a user would have to take to perform the actions being tested. In turn, this allows for more agile test writing and easier-to-understand test cases.

Quilla was built to be run in CI/CD, in containers, and locally. It also comes with an optional integration with pytest, so you can write your Quilla test cases as part of your regular testing environment for python-based projects. Check out the quilla-pytest docs for more information on how to configure pytest to auto-discover Quilla files, adding markers, and more.

Quickstart

  1. Run pip install quilla

  2. Ensure that you have the correct browser and drivers. Quilla will autodetect drivers that are in your PATH or in the directory it is called

  3. Write the following as Validation.json, substituting "Edge" for whatever browser you have installed and have the driver for:

    {
      "targetBrowsers": ["Edge"],
      "path": "https://www.bing.com",
      "steps": [
        {
          "action": "Validate",
          "type": "URL",
          "state": "Contains",
          "target": "bing"
        }
      ]
    }
    
  4. Run quilla -f Validation.json

Installation

Note: It is highly recommended that you use a virtual environment whenever you install new python packages. You can install Quilla by cloning the repository and running make install.

Quilla is available on PyPI, and can be installed by running pip install quilla.

For more information on installation options (such as installing from source) and packaging Quilla for remote install, check out the documentation for it here

Writing Validation Files

Context Expressions

This package is able to dynamically inject different values, exposed through context objects and expressions whenever the validation JSON would ordinarily require a regular string (instead of an enum). This can be used to grab values specified either at the command-line, or through environment variables.

More discussion of context expressions and how to use them can be found in the documentation file here

Generating Documentation

Documentation can be generated through the make command make docs

Check out the documentation for it here

Make commands

A Makefile is provided with several convenience commands. You can find usage instructions with make help, or below:
