Orbs

Automation framework that grows with your team

Welcome

Orbs is a modern automation framework for:

🌐 Web testing
📱 Mobile testing (Appium)
🔌 API testing

It’s designed for real-world teams, not just demos.

Whether you're just starting automation or already running complex CI/CD pipelines — Orbs adapts to you.

Why Orbs?

Most automation tools force you to choose:

Easy but limited
Or powerful but complicated

Orbs gives you both.

Junior QA → use visual tools, record & play, reusable keywords
Senior QA → use code, CLI, CI/CD pipelines

Same project. Same engine. No migration.

Core Idea

Tests are software, not scripts.

Orbs treats automation like real engineering:

Structured
Maintainable
Scalable

No messy scripts. No hidden magic.

Quick Start

pip install orbs-cli

orbs setup android
