ZWL

ZWL packs language features, end to end test utilities and assertion utilities in a single package. It's primary focus is simplicity and conciseness. ZWL is a dynamically typed, declarative language that doesn't introduce any new syntax.

ZWL uses selenium and W3C webdriver under the hood to automate browsers and is an abstraction over the details of both of these. It is not required to know or learn selenium and/or webdriver to work with ZWL. With our extensive documentation on ZWL, you will learn exactly what is needed to build reliable tests without going too much into the internals.

Goals of ZWL#

  • Be easy enough for users with less programming experience.
  • Provide powerful features like advanced string, array and map manipulation and strong regex support for experienced users.
  • Be minimally verbose. Give ability to write declarative tests.
  • Design built-in functions in a way that support Do more write less methodology.
  • Easy readability and debugging.
  • Pack everything needed to write great e2e tests in a single package.
