End-to-end testing authentication with GitHub

Schedule a Demo

Third-party authentication is a common way to reduce friction in signup / sign-in experiences, and is commonplace in applications that prioritize security.

While third-party authentication with GitHub is great for the user, it can be a pain to test end-to-end for a variety of reasons:

Testing sign in / sign up with with GitHub introduces a dependency on GitHub's authentication experience. If the service updates the authentication UI, you may need to update your tests.
If you want to test a signup flow, you need multiple accounts with multiple GitHub identities, or you need to handle the teardown of a single user's GitHub identity every test run.

What's the easiest way to test login or signup with GitHub?

walrus.ai enables developers to test third-party authentication using GitHub without any of the pain:

When GitHub's UI changes, walrus.ai handles any updates needed on their end, so you never need to refactor your tests based on any third-party dependency outside of your control.
Writing the full end-to-end test takes minutes, because it's just written in plain English.
walrus.ai controls accounts for many services, including GitHub, so you don't need to handle credentials or account setup at all.

A one-size-fits-most end-to-end test for third-party login with GitHub using walrus.ai:

5  - 'Login with GitHub'
6  - 'Verify login is successful'
7  - 'Verify the dashboard loads'

What does the result look like?
