Show HN: Hercules – Open-Source software testing agent
Hey HN,
After spending way too many late nights wrestling with brittle test scripts and UIs that seem to change just to spite me, we decided to do something about it. So we built Hercules, an open-source testing agent aiming to make end-to-end testing of modern web applications less of a Herculean task (pun absolutely intended).
P.S.- Paid solutions can cost upwords of $15000 and still struggle with maintenance.
What is Hercules?
Hercules is an AI-powered testing agent that turns simple Gherkin steps into fully automated end-to-end tests, eliminating the need for coding skills. It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason and perform actions based on test requirements.
Key Features-
- Gherkin In, Results Out: Just provide your tests in Gherkin format, and Hercules executes them automatically, outputting results in JUnit XML and HTML reports. - Free and Open Source: Hercules is released under the AGPL v3 license, allowing anyone to use, modify, and contribute. - Salesforce Ready: Capable of handling intricate UIs, Hercules excels in testing platforms like Salesforce. - No Code Required: Automates Gherkin features without the need for scripting or dealing with selectors. - Multilingual Support: Supports multiple languages out of the box, facilitating global collaboration. - Precisely Accurate: Records execution videos and captures network logs for reliable test results. - No Maintenance: Features auto-healing capabilities to adapt to changes without manual intervention. - CI/CD Ready: Easily integrates into your CI/CD pipeline and can run in Docker containers.
Why is Hercules Different?
Unlike traditional testing tools, Hercules acts as an intelligent agent that can think, reason, and adapt. It's built on a multi-agent architecture, allowing it to plan and execute tasks based on the provided Gherkin steps. Additionally, it comes packed with tool usage like Browsers, or APIs; and users can build/attach external tools too.
Try It Out
The source code and detailed documentation are available on GitHub: [https://github.com/test-zeus-ai/testzeus-hercules](https://g...
To get started:
- Install via PyPI:
```bash pip install testzeus-hercules playwright install --with-deps ``` - Or use the Docker image:
```bash docker pull testzeus/hercules:latest ``` We've included sample feature files and a quick-start guide in the README to help you get up and running quickly.
Feedback Welcome-
We'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or even horror stories about testing gone wrong. Feel free to open issues on GitHub or join forces on our Discord : https://discord.gg/4fyEMWVD
