👋 Introduction

What is Boyka Framework?​

Boyka Framework is an open source Test Automation Framework written in Java that supports automating Web, API, and Mobile (Android and iOS applications) seamlessly.

Why Boyka Framework was created?​

Throughout my career in automating APIs, web browsers, and mobile apps, I noticed that using different frameworks for each type of automation created a lot of confusion and made managing dependencies and code harder.

Additionally, I never found a test automation framework that allowed us to write scripts without needing to set up a lot of project-specific boilerplate code.

Learning multiple frameworks also slowed down teams, increasing the time it took to write automation tests and adding to automation debt.

This inspired me to create a single framework—Boyka—that solves these problems by allowing QA teams to automate across APIs, Web, and Mobile apps more efficiently and with less overhead.
