Why Yaml ?

I've worked in this niche for a very long time, I seriously need to be able to use a normal programming language. A lot of test tools need to be a part of a larger workflow, if this was good ole NodeJS I could use some other tricks, for example intercepting network request,custom logic in JavaScript, etc.

We've found that YAML encourages maintainable testing practices. But when you need to fire off a network requests, add custom logic, Maestro does have javascript support: https://docs.maestro.dev/advanced/javascript/run-javascript

Very sophisticated companies like DoorDash and Kraken have written and maintain hundreds of Maestro tests using this approach!

Awesome, thank you for replying to me!

However, is it possible to use your testing framework as a library inside of a larger project.
