Fast, code‑free end‑to‑end web testing with Node.js
TestCafe lets you write JavaScript or TypeScript tests, run them instantly across browsers, and view results without WebDriver—free, cross‑platform, and CI‑ready.
TestCafe is a Node.js‑based framework that simplifies end‑to‑end web testing. Write tests in JavaScript or TypeScript, install the tool with a single npm install -g testcafe command, and run them across any major desktop, mobile, or cloud browser without needing WebDriver.
Designed for JavaScript developers, QA engineers, and CI pipelines, TestCafe automatically waits for page loads, XHRs, and element visibility, eliminating manual timeouts. Features like live mode instantly rerun tests on code changes, while parallel execution speeds up large suites. The framework supports the latest ECMAScript features, TypeScript, and the PageObject pattern, and integrates smoothly with CI systems such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and TeamCity. Plugins extend reporting, IDE integration, and cloud‑browser providers, giving teams flexibility to tailor the workflow to their needs.
After installing, create a .js or .ts file with a fixture and test, then launch with testcafe chrome mytest.js. Results appear in the console, and custom reporters can be added via community plugins. The MIT‑licensed project is free for commercial and personal use.
When teams consider TestCafe, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Smoke testing a new feature on multiple browsers
Run a single test file across Chrome, Firefox, Safari in parallel, catching regressions instantly.
Integrating tests into a CI pipeline
Execute TestCafe via command line in Jenkins or GitHub Actions, generate console reports, and fail builds on errors.
Recording tests without code
Use TestCafe Studio to capture user interactions, export as TestCafe scripts, and run them in existing workflows.
Testing responsive layouts on mobile emulators
Leverage cloud browser providers or headless mode to validate UI across device sizes automatically.
No, TestCafe controls browsers directly via its own automation layer.
All major desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) and mobile browsers via cloud providers or emulators.
