Rocketship Documentation

Welcome to the Rocketship documentation! Rocketship is an open-source testing framework for APIs and browsers, designed for both humans and coding agents.

What is Rocketship?

🚀 Rocketship is an open‑source testing framework that can verify complex, API-driven scenarios that are made by your customers— or your systems. Rocketship brings durable execution backed by Temporal to your testing infra, and offers extensible plugins so you can add the APIs and protocols that matter to you.

What can it test? - APIs - Check if your web services respond correctly to requests - Websites - Automate browser actions like clicking buttons and filling forms - Databases - Verify data is stored and retrieved correctly - Complete workflows - Test entire user journeys across multiple services

How it works: You write simple instructions in a YAML file (a human-readable format), and Rocketship executes them. You can run tests on your computer or in the cloud. The tool automatically handles retries, error recovery, and complex scenarios so your tests are reliable.
