30-second answer

Why run Puppeteer on TestingBot?

Real Chrome and Edge

TestingBot runs your Puppeteer scripts against real Chrome and Edge on real Windows, macOS and Linux machines. No more "works in headless Chromium on my laptop" surprises.

Massive parallelism

Fan out to up to 100 concurrent Puppeteer sessions, each in its own single-use VM. Headless or headful, your choice per session.

Recorder & extras

Use the Puppeteer Recorder to generate scripts without writing a line of code. Test browser extensions, web scrape and run cross-browser parallel suites from the same dashboard.

What is Puppeteer?

Puppeteer in 60 seconds

Puppeteer

Released 2017 · Chrome DevTools team · Apache 2.0

Puppeteer is a Node.js library from the Chrome DevTools team that drives Chrome and Chromium through the DevTools Protocol. It was the original "headless Chrome" automation library and remains the fastest way to script Chrome from JavaScript.

Puppeteer ships first-class APIs for screenshots, PDFs, network interception, performance traces and page metrics. It is the canonical choice for Chrome-first end-to-end testing, web scraping and headless rendering pipelines.

Node.js library, JavaScript / TypeScript
Chrome, Chromium and Edge via the DevTools Protocol
First-class screenshots, PDFs and network interception
Headless and headful, single API
Maintained by the Chrome DevTools team

5-line setup

Point your scripts at the TestingBot grid

Reuse your existing Puppeteer code. Connect to TestingBot's WebSocket endpoint and your scripts run on real Chrome and Edge in parallel.

connect.js step 1

// Connect Puppeteer to TestingBot's cloud
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core');

const caps = {
  browserName: 'chrome',
  browserVersion: 'latest',
  platform: 'WIN11',
  'tb:options': { key: 'KEY', secret: 'SECRET' },
};

const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint: `wss://cloud.testingbot.com?caps=${
    encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(caps))}`,
});

login.spec.js step 2

// Your existing Puppeteer script, unchanged
const page = await browser.newPage();

await page.goto('https://app.example.com/login');
await page.type('#user', 'jane');
await page.type('#pwd',  '••••');
await Promise.all([
  page.click('#go'),
  page.waitForNavigation(),
]);

await page.screenshot({ path: 'dashboard.png' });
await browser.close();

Local vs cloud

Local Puppeteer vs TestingBot

Puppeteer is fast on a laptop until you need scale, multiple OSes or real Edge. Here is how a hosted cloud compares.

Capability	TestingBot	Local Puppeteer
Browser coverage	Real Chrome and Edge across versions	Whatever you have installed locally
Operating systems	Real Windows, macOS and Linux	Your single dev machine
Parallel scaling	Up to 100 concurrent sessions, on demand	Capped by your CPU and RAM
Video & logs	HD video, console logs, screenshots included	Roll your own recording & log capture
Test private & staging environments	Built-in secure tunnel	Direct access only, no secure remote sharing
EU data residency	Yes, GDPR-compliant	Whatever country your laptop is in
Reliability	99.99% uptime SLA, 24/7 monitoring	Crashes when you close the lid

Test artifacts

Video, screenshots and logs out of the box

Every Puppeteer session ships with a full HD video, browser console log and screenshots. Inspect a failure without re-running the test.

Mark sessions as passed or failed from your script, fetch artifacts via our REST API, and ship results back to Jira, Slack or your CI of choice.

Full HD video for every session
Console and DevTools logs
Screenshots and PDFs on demand
Custom screen resolution, timezone and locale
Browser startup flags and many more options

Languages & runners

Puppeteer integrations for every stack

Puppeteer is Node-first, but the same scripts run from Jest, WebDriverIO and CodeceptJS, plus Python via Pyppeteer and Go via chromedp. All point at the same TestingBot endpoint.

Massive parallelism

Cut Puppeteer suite time from hours to minutes

Run hundreds of Puppeteer sessions in parallel across single-use VMs. Headless or headful, same scripts, a fraction of the wall-clock time.

Up to 100 concurrent Puppeteer sessions
Sessions start in seconds, no warm-up
Headless or headful, switchable per session

Test Puppeteer scripts from 10+ countries

Run Puppeteer scripts from real exit nodes around the world. Verify geo-targeting, geo-blocking and localisation from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Australia, China, Japan and more.

Secure infrastructure

Real machines. Single-use. Zero leaks.

Each Puppeteer session runs in a brand-new, single-use virtual machine on a real operating system. The VM is destroyed the moment your script ends: nothing is reused, nothing leaks across customers.

SOC 2-aligned, GDPR-compliant with EU data residency, SAML SSO and audit logs available for enterprise teams.

Single-use VMs, wiped after every session
GDPR-compliant, EU data residency available
SAML SSO, audit logs and SCIM provisioning

Puppeteer on TestingBot — frequently asked questions

Why run Puppeteer on TestingBot instead of locally?

Locally you are capped by your laptop or CI runner. TestingBot gives you up to 100 parallel Puppeteer sessions on real Chrome and Edge across real Windows, macOS and Linux machines, with HD video and console logs collected automatically.

Which Puppeteer versions are supported?

TestingBot supports every supported Puppeteer release. You can pin a specific Puppeteer version per-test using capabilities.

Can I run Puppeteer tests in parallel?

Yes. Plans on TestingBot include up to 100 parallel Puppeteer sessions. Each session runs in its own single-use VM, so scripts do not interfere with one another.

Can I use Puppeteer with Jest, WebDriverIO or CodeceptJS?

Yes. We have dedicated guides for Jest, WebDriverIO and CodeceptJS, plus Python via PyTest and Go via chromedp.

How is Puppeteer different from Selenium and Playwright?

Puppeteer is Chrome-first and Node-first, with a smaller, snappier API than Selenium and a narrower scope than Playwright. Pick Puppeteer when you only need Chrome/Edge and want speed, screenshots, PDFs and network control with minimum ceremony. TestingBot supports all three on the same grid.

Can I record Puppeteer scripts without writing code?

Yes, use the Puppeteer Recorder to capture clicks, types and assertions, then run the resulting script on the TestingBot grid.

Can I test internal or staged sites?

Yes, install our secure tunnel and your Puppeteer scripts can reach staging environments, localhost or anything else behind your firewall.

Is the Puppeteer cloud GDPR / SOC 2 compliant?

TestingBot is GDPR-compliant with EU data residency, ISO 27001 aligned and STAR Level 1 certified. We offer SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs on enterprise plans.
