Testing Static Websites with TestDriver

TestDriver provides a powerful solution for testing static websites. With our platform, you can easily create and run tests to ensure your static website functions as expected across different browsers and devices.

​
Getting started

To get started with testing static websites using TestDriver, follow these steps:
  1. Follow our quick start guide to set up your TestDriver account.
  2. Create a new test project in your TestDriver dashboard.
  3. Add your static website URL to the test settings. It looks like this in the provision.yaml file:
testdriver/lifecycle/provision.yaml
version: 6.0.0
steps:
  - prompt: launch chrome
    commands:
      - command: exec
        lang: pwsh
        code: |
          Start-Process "C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" -ArgumentList "--start-maximized", "${TD_WEBSITE}"
          exit
      - command: wait-for-text
        text: ${TD_WEBSITE}
        timeout: 30000
Set the TD_WEBSITE environment variable to the URL of your static website. This will allow TestDriver to launch the browser and navigate to your website. You can do this by adding this provision.yaml file to your project or by simply using: 
npx testdriverai@latest init
Running init will create the provision.yaml file for you and ask you which website to load with your test.
