Prerequisites

---

Complete these steps before running Jest Selenium tests on TestMu AI.

1. Create a TestMu AI account and get your username and access key from the dashboard.
2. Install NodeJS v6 or newer from nodejs.org.
3. Install npm from the official npm website.
4. Download Selenium JavaScript bindings from the official website.

Step 1: Clone the Sample Project

---

Clone the TestMu AI Jest Selenium sample repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/jest-selenium-webdriver-sample
cd jest-selenium-webdriver-sample

Install the required dependencies:

npm install --save-dev jest --force

Step 2: Set Your Credentials

---

Set your TestMu AI username and access key as environment variables.

macOS / Linux

export LT_USERNAME="undefined"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Windows

set LT_USERNAME="undefined"
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Step 3: Configure Your Test Capabilities

---

Update the capabilities object to define the browser and platform settings.

const capabilities = {
  build: 'jest-LambdaTest-Single',
  browserName: 'chrome',
  browserVersion: 'latest',
  platformName: 'Windows 10',
};

tip

Generate capabilities for your test requirements with the Capabilities Generator.

Step 4: Run the Test

---

Execute the test using the following command.

npm test single.test.js

Step 5: View Your Results

---

After running the test, view your results on the TestMu AI Automation Dashboard.

The dashboard provides:

• Video recordings of each test session
• Screenshots captured at each step
• Console logs from the browser
• Network logs for debugging
• Detailed command logs

Run Jest Tests Using Agent Skills

---

Use AI coding assistants to generate and run Jest tests with the TestMu AI Agent Skill.

The jest-skill is part of TestMu AI Agent Skills - structured packages that teach AI coding assistants how to write production-grade test automation.

Install the skill:

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills.git
cp -r agent-skills/jest-skill .claude/skills/

# For Cursor / Copilot
cp -r agent-skills/jest-skill .cursor/skills/

tip

Install all available framework skills at once by cloning the repository directly into your tool's skills directory (e.g., .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/).
