Schnauzer UI

Schnauzer UI is a DSL for performing browser automation. Rather than focusing on large automated test suites, Schnauzer UI helps you write small, easy to understand test scripts.

When to use Schnauzer UI vs. other options (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, etc.)

Schnauzer UI is a bad choice if:

• You want to maintain a large automated test suite with reusable components.
• You have a team of full time software engineers dedicated to QA.
• Your QA and Engineering teams are able to collaborate closely to build software that is easy to E2E test (you have dedicated test environments, a system for test IDs for elements, etc.).
• You want to build your E2E test suites into CI/CD processes and want good tooling around doing it.

Schnauzer UI is a good choice if:

• You want to be able to easily run stand alone scripts and produce a test report.
• You want to quickly draft tests as needed instead of maintaining a large test suite.
• You want a more robust way to codify Acceptance Criteria / Bug Reproduction Steps on your tickets.
• You want to empower non-programmer QA team members to take advantage of automation.
• You want to build some automation into existing manual process.
