Purpose: Taiko is an open source Node.js library for testing modern web applications.
Browser automation: Taiko automates Chromium based browsers including Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera, plus Firefox.
Selectors: Its API treats the browser as a black box and supports smart selectors without inspecting page source.
Implicit waits: Taiko implicitly waits for pages and elements to finish loading, including XHR and dynamic content.
Recorder: Taiko includes an interactive recorder REPL that generates readable JavaScript test scripts.
Request stubbing: The intercept API supports request and response stubbing for test environments and data.
Installation: Taiko runs on platforms supported by the latest Node.js LTS, including Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Test languages: Tests can be written in JavaScript or languages that compile to JavaScript, such as TypeScript.
Runner integrations: Official documentation covers integration with Gauge, Mocha and Jest.
Plugins: Community plugins include accessibility, Android, diagnostics, screencast, storage, screenshot and video tools.
Browser limits: Safari is unsupported, and Taiko cannot test mobile applications directly.
Support: The project directs users to GitHub Discussions for questions and GitHub Issues for bug reports.
