SHAFT
Java 25 automation framework for Web, Mobile, API, CLI, and Database testing.
SHAFT is a Maven-published Java automation framework that keeps the common test automation plumbing in one place: drivers, synchronization, assertions, configuration, test data, reporting, evidence, and optional agent-assisted workflows.
Why SHAFT
- Java and Maven first, with TestNG, JUnit, and Cucumber integration.
- One workflow for Web, Mobile, API, CLI, Database, accessibility, reporting, and evidence.
- Configuration-first defaults for local, grid, cloud, and CI execution.
- Optional modules and tools for BrowserStack, Capture, Doctor, Heal, MCP, AI, IntelliJ IDEA, video, and visual testing.
- IntelliJ IDEA is the front-door workflow for coding partners: plan from the SHAFT tool window, reuse existing code, review generated blocks, and verify locally.
