Wendigo
A wrapper around Puppeteer that simplifies front-end and end-to-end automated testing with built-in assertions and utilities.
What is Wendigo?
Wendigo is a Node.js library that simplifies front-end and end-to-end automated testing by wrapping Puppeteer with a more intuitive API. It provides built-in assertions, request mocking, and utilities for handling browser features like cookies and localStorage, reducing the boilerplate code typically required for browser automation.
Frontend and full-stack developers writing automated tests for web applications, particularly those already using or considering Puppeteer but wanting a higher-level abstraction.
Developers choose Wendigo because it dramatically reduces test code verbosity compared to raw Puppeteer, offers a comprehensive built-in assertion library, and provides utilities for common testing scenarios—all while maintaining full access to Puppeteer's API when needed.
