Applications that Test Themselves with CatJS

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

CatJS is an open source framework that makes apps self-testing by having the developer embed JavaScript snippets so the app can fill forms and click buttons; a separate runner executes those snippets across browsers and devices so tests run in the same dev environment without switching to QA. The approach claims developer-first automation from day one, ships as a usable project, and reports from early adopters show it runs across mobile and desktop combinations.
