Quickstart

This quickstart guide shows you how to set up Bugster CLI, create and run your first AI-powered tests in minutes.

After you complete this guide, you will have automated tests running against your web application.

​

Getting Started

You can get started with Bugster CLI in three simple steps:

1. Initialize bugster init - Configure your project with authentication and settings
2. Generate bugster generate - AI analyzes your code and creates test specifications
3. Run bugster run - Execute tests with browser automation against your application

Let’s walk through each step:

​

0. Install Bugster CLI

First, install the Bugster CLI on your system.

​

1. Initialize Bugster in your project

Navigate to your project’s root directory and initialize Bugster:

cd your-nextjs-project
bugster init

This command sets up Bugster configuration for your specific project, creating the necessary files and folders to store your tests and settings.

​

Configuration Setup

During initialization, you’ll be prompted for:

​

2. Generate Your First Tests

Create test specifications for your application using:

bugster generate

This command analyzes your codebase and automatically creates test specifications under each page. It understands your application structure and generates relevant test cases.

​

3. Run Your Tests

Execute the generated tests against your application:

bugster run

This command executes your test specifications in a browser, validating the instructions in the test specification.

​

GitHub Integration

​

Install the GitHub App

Connect Bugster to your GitHub repository for automated testing on pull requests.

The GitHub integration enables Bugster to automatically run tests on pull requests, providing immediate feedback on code changes and preventing regressions.

git add .bugster/
git commit -m "Add Bugster CLI configuration"
git push origin main

Next Steps

Congratulations! You now have Bugster CLI set up and running. Here’s what to explore next:
