Overview

Modern test automation is fragmented.

You write scripts in one place, manage test cases in another, run them through a separate pipeline, and debug failures somewhere else. The more your system grows, the more fragile and disconnected everything becomes.

AppraiseJS fixes that.

It brings test authoring, execution, and analysis into a single visual system — without locking you into a proprietary ecosystem.

AppraiseJS is a local-first, visual test authoring, execution, and analysis platform.

Instead of writing and maintaining test code manually, you model your test flows visually. AppraiseJS handles the heavy lifting — from generating test scripts to orchestrating execution and producing structured reports.

Own your tests. Always.
AppraiseJS generates real, portable test artifacts (Gherkin + Playwright) that can run outside the platform. No lock-in. No proprietary formats.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

At a high level, this is how you build and run tests in AppraiseJS:

  1. Configure your environment.
  2. Define locators using the intelligent locator picker (built for stability and best practices).
  3. Create test suites to organize your scenarios.
  4. Model test flows visually — no manual scripting required.
  5. Run tests with flexible selection (by suite, tags, or specific cases).
  6. Analyze results through a unified reporting system with all execution data in one place.

Who AppraiseJS is for

Section titled “Who AppraiseJS is for”
  • QA engineers tired of maintaining brittle, code-heavy test suites
  • Developers who want fast test creation without boilerplate overhead
  • Teams that need shared ownership across QA, dev, and product
  • Organizations that want full control over their test artifacts (no vendor lock-in)

Core capabilities

Section titled “Core capabilities”

  • Visual Test Modeling

    Build test flows using our visual node based workflow builder that is easy to understand, composable and reusable across various scenarios.

  • Test Templating

    Compose reusable templates that will allow you to quickly form test workflows for fast testing.

  • Reusable Selector System

    Traditional code based locator managements systems are clunky, difficult to remember where a particular locator lives in the codebase and requires users to import locators based on page navigation steps. Our intelligent locator resolver automatically resolves locators based on page route and hands over the exact selector to the executor when it needs it.

  • Custom Test Node Generation

    Besides predefined nodes that are available to the AppraiseJS ecosystem by default, it is also possible to build your own custom workflow node using our template step builder. Easily define new test nodes for your workflow that suites your exact need.

  • Environment Aware Execution

    AppraiseJS maintains a centralized environment management system that can be used at our Test Runner at any time. No more loading environment configurations at tests or creating weird hacks for loading environment data for a particular test execution session.

  • Multi Config Test Orchestration

    The fluid test runner of AppraiseJS allows users to run tests on multiple different test configurations for seamless test execution during test runs. Users are able to formulate test runs that can be organized by tags, by test suites or even individual test scenarios under a test suite. You can formulate and own your test runs according to your necessity without any contradictions.

  • State of the Art Test Run Management

    Create test runs using your preferred test scenario configurations, selected environments, preferred test execution surfaces, number of workers and so much with our Advanced test run manager.

  • Runtime visibility

    Our advanced Test Runner allows you to view live test run logs, access run artifacts, and inspect execution traces for failures all in one test place.

  • Reporting

    View and analyze test results using our modern test reporter that allows you to view and analyze test execution metrics with the help of beautiful graphs, charts and data cards.
