Run custom code inside DoesQA

DoesQA includes thousands of codeless node configurations designed to handle the vast majority of real world testing scenarios.

But when you need something more specific, you can extend your tests with custom JavaScript using the Run Browser Script node.

This allows you to execute code directly in the browser at any point in your automated flow.

You can:

• Return a value to store and use later in the test

• Perform advanced assertions

• Manipulate the DOM

• Create dynamic logic based on runtime conditions

This gives you full flexibility without sacrificing the structure and clarity of your visual test builder.

Practical use cases

The Run Browser Script node is ideal for scenarios such as:

• Asserting a custom sorting algorithm

• Performing advanced calculations on stored values

• Returning a random date within a specific range

• Generating complex or unique test data

• Comparing multiple elements in a single operation

• Creating bespoke validation logic specific to your application

You get the control of code, embedded directly into your visual, branching test architecture.

Flexible without adding maintenance overhead

Custom code runs as part of your DoesQA test flow, meaning you still benefit from:

• Managed runners

• Clear failure context

• Branching logic

• Centralised reporting

You can extend behaviour where needed, without turning your entire test suite into a framework that needs constant maintenance.
