Show HN: RocketQA – Write Tests in English (Gherkin), Run with Playwright

2 points by refactormonkey 2 days ago

We are Eric and Alex and we are the developers behind RocketQA. We built it for our own team because we were tired of writing clunky QA tests. We wanted something that felt natural — write features in Gherkin, run them with Playwright, and actually enjoy reading the tests later. We wanted our manual QA guys to write automated tests without developers' help.

Unlike most QA frameworks, RocketQA keeps tests both developer-friendly and business-readable. You don’t have to choose between speed of writing and clarity of output. It’s also lightweight - no complex setup, just plug it into your project and go.

It worked well for us, so I decided to make it open source and put it out there in case it helps anyone else. No sales pitch here - just sharing because I know how annoying QA automation can get when it doesn’t fit into your workflow. If anyone’s curious, I’m happy to record a quick video walking through how we use it. Or if you just want to poke around, docs are here: https//rocketqa.ai/docs

Would love feedback, ideas, or just to hear how you’re handling QA in your projects.
