What you need installed to run tests for Web, iOS, and Android.

Before running your test suites, ensure you have the required tools installed for your target platforms.

1. General Requirements

To run the zenitest CLI on your machine:

To run web browser tests:

Automatic Browser Installation: You do not need to manually install or manage browser drivers. When you run a web test, ZeniTest will automatically download and install the required browser (Chromium, Firefox, or WebKit) if it is not already present on your machine.
Supported Browsers:
- Chromium (Default)
- Google Chrome (Uses system Chrome if installed)
- Mozilla Firefox
- WebKit / Safari

Tip: You don’t need WebDriver binaries, ChromeDriver, or Selenium servers. Everything runs out of the box.
