About Kane CLI
Kane CLI by TestMu AI is a command-line testing agent that drives a real Chrome browser to automate end-to-end web flows described in plain English, removing the need for selectors or brittle scripts. It reads sources like PRDs and tickets to map product requirements, runs tests locally or in CI/CD across environments, and produces a portable, sha256-verified .evidence pack proving what was tested. Flows can be exported to native Playwright scripts and synced to a cloud dashboard for shareable logs and replays.
