BrowserBash: Open-source CLI tool that turns plain English into automated browser tests
By
Prrammod
Summary
BrowserBash is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0) CLI tool that lets users automate browser tests by writing a single plain-English sentence. An AI agent drives a real browser to execute the test — no selectors, no code, no flaky locators. It runs on free local models (Ollama) or free OpenRouter models with zero API keys required, and supports local Chrome, LambdaTest, BrowserStack, Browserbase, or any CDP endpoint.
