## What it is
CodeceptJS is a Node.js end-to-end testing framework with a BDD-style syntax where tests are written as user-perspective scenarios using an 'I' actor API. It delegates commands to interchangeable backends including Playwright, WebDriver, Puppeteer, and Appium for web and mobile testing.

## Use cases
- write end-to-end tests for a web app
- run acceptance tests with Playwright or Selenium
- test mobile apps with Appium
- migrate from Cypress or Protractor
- write BDD-style browser tests in JavaScript
- automate browser testing across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit
- let AI agents write and run browser tests

## When to choose
- you want readable, scenario-style E2E tests that abstract away selectors
- you need one test API that works across Playwright, WebDriver, Puppeteer, and Appium
- your team prefers BDD-style acceptance testing in JavaScript or TypeScript
- you want AI/agent-friendly tests with an MCP server

## When to avoid
- you need unit or component-level testing rather than browser E2E
- you are heavily invested in another E2E tool's ecosystem like Cypress
- you need non-JavaScript test code
- you require fine-grained low-level control of browser internals
