Midscene Test also includes the capabilities expected of a test framework: lifecycle hooks and cleanup, retries and timeouts, concurrent execution with isolation, and step-level reports.
Lifecycle hooks and cleanup
Prepare and clean up resources at the project, file, and case level with setup, fileSetup, beforeAll, beforeEach, and their counterparts. Cleanup still runs after failures, timeouts, or Ctrl+C.
Project lifecycleRetries and timeouts
Retry failed cases; each attempt reruns beforeEach, steps, and afterEach. Set step timeouts, keep going after a failed step with continue-on-error, and stop early with bail.
Handling failuresConcurrency and isolation
Run YAML files concurrently with maxConcurrentFiles. fileSetup gives each file its own page, Agent, or device, so concurrent files do not share state.
Concurrency and isolationStep-level reports
The HTML report records screenshots, inputs, outputs, errors, and Agent replay for every step. A #runner-step=last-error link opens the latest failed step from CI notifications or PR comments, and summary.json and result.md are written for scripts and AI agents.
