## β‘ **Quick Start - Try It Now!**
Get instant AI-powered UI analysis in just 3 lines of code:
```bash
# Install jpglens
npm install -D jpglens @playwright/test
npx playwright install
# Quick analyze any webpage
npx jpglens quickanalyze https://your-website.com
```
**Or use the `quickAnalyze()` function directly in your code:**
```javascript
import { quickAnalyze } from 'jpglens/playwright';
// Instant AI analysis of any webpage
const results = await quickAnalyze('https://your-app.com', {
userIntent: 'Complete user registration',
criticalElements: ['.signup-form', '#submit-button'],
depth: 'standard' // 'quick' | 'standard' | 'comprehensive'
});
console.log(`Found ${results.issues.length} UX issues`);
console.log(`Overall Score: ${results.overallScore}/10`);
```
**π― Perfect for:**
- **First-time users** - Zero configuration needed
- **Quick validation** - Instant feedback on UI changes
- **CI/CD integration** - Add to your existing pipelines
- **Design reviews** - Get AI insights before user testing
## π **What is jpglens?**
**jpglens** is a revolutionary AI-powered testing tool that analyzes your user interfaces through the **context of real user journeys**. Unlike traditional testing tools that check functionality, jpglens understands **user experience, accessibility, and visual design** using advanced AI models.
### π― **The Problem We Solved**
Traditional UI testing tools can tell you if a button *works*, but they can't tell you if it's **intuitive**, **accessible**, or **delightful** to use. jpglens bridges this gap by:
- π§ **Understanding Context** - Analyzes components within complete user workflows
- ποΈ **Seeing Like Users** - Evaluates visual design, accessibility, and usability
- π **Universal Integration** - Works with your existing testing tools
- π **Actionable Insights** - Provides specific recommendations for improvement
## π **Why We Built This**
> *"After building jpgos design system for millions of users, we realized that traditional testing wasn't enough. We needed a way to ensure our components weren't just functional, but truly **user-centered**. jpglens was born from this need - to test not just if something works, but if it works **beautifully** for real humans."*
>
> **β Taha Bahrami (Kaito)**, *Creator of jpgos & jpglens*
### π **Our Journey**
1. **The Challenge** - jpgos serves millions of users daily, but traditional testing couldn't catch UX issues
2. **The Experiment** - We integrated AI analysis into our testing workflow
3. **The Breakthrough** - AI could identify usability issues that humans missed
4. **The Solution** - jpglens was born, making this power available to everyone
*Special thanks to **Ashkan** for his invaluable support and guidance throughout this journey.*
## β‘ **Quick Start**
### Installation
```bash
# Install jpglens
npm install --save-dev jpglens
# Install your preferred testing framework
npm install --save-dev @playwright/test
# or
npm install --save-dev cypress
# or
npm install --save-dev selenium-webdriver
```
### π **Setup AI Provider**
jpglens works with any OpenAI-compatible API:
```bash
# Set your API key (OpenRouter, OpenAI, etc.)
export JPGLENS_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export JPGLENS_MODEL="openai/gpt-4-vision-preview"
# Optional: Set custom base URL for Azure OpenAI, local servers, or proxies otherwise it works with https://api.openai.com
export JPGLENS_BASE_URL="https://my-resource.openai.azure.com/v1"
```
### π **Playwright Integration**
```javascript
// tests/ai-visual.spec.js
import { test } from '@playwright/test';
import { analyzeUserJourney } from 'jpglens/playwright';
test.describe('E-commerce Purchase Flow', () => {
test('user can complete purchase', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/product/123');
// Standard Playwright actions
await page.click('[data-testid="add-to-cart"]');
await page.fill('[data-testid="quantity"]', '2');
// π AI Analysis - Understands user context
await analyzeUserJourney(page, {
stage: 'product-selection',
userIntent: 'add item to cart',
context: 'e-commerce purchase decision',
criticalElements: ['add-to-cart button', 'price display', 'stock status']
});
await page.click('[data-testid="checkout"]');
// π AI Analysis - Checkout flow
await analyzeUserJourney(page, {
stage: 'checkout-initiation',
userIntent: 'complete purchase',
context: 'high-intent purchase flow',
criticalElements: ['form fields', 'payment options', 'security indicators']
});
});
});
```
### π² **Cypress Integration**
```javascript
// cypress/e2e/user-journey.cy.js
import 'jpglens/cypress';
describe('Dashboard User Flow', () => {
it('user analyzes business metrics', () => {
cy.visit('/dashboard');
cy.get('[data-cy="date-filter"]').select('last-30-days');
// π AI Analysis with Cypress
cy.analyzeUserExperience({
journey: 'data-analysis-workflow',
userType: 'business-analyst',
expectation: 'quickly understand key metrics',
context: 'daily business review meeting preparation'
});
});
});
```
### π **Storybook Integration**
```javascript
// Button.stories.js
import { analyzeComponentStates } from 'jpglens/storybook';
export const InteractiveStates = {
args: { variant: 'primary' },
play: async ({ canvasElement }) => {
const canvas = within(canvasElement);
const button = canvas.getByRole('button');
// Test different states
await userEvent.hover(button);
await userEvent.focus(button);
// π AI Analysis of component states
await analyzeComponentStates(canvas, {
component: 'Primary Button',
states: ['default', 'hover', 'focus', 'active'],
context: 'critical call-to-action in checkout flow',
designSystem: 'jpgos'
});
}
};
```
## π― **Core Features**

### π **Sample Report Output**
```markdown
# π jpglens Analysis Report
## π Overall UX Score: 8.2/10
### π― Key Findings
**β
Strengths:**
- Clear visual hierarchy guides user attention effectively
- Consistent design system implementation
- Strong accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA)
**β οΈ Areas for Improvement:**
- Mobile touch targets below 44px minimum (checkout button)
- Form error messages appear after 3s delay - too slow for user context
- Color contrast ratio 3.8:1 on secondary buttons (needs 4.5:1)
### π οΈ Specific Recommendations
1. **Checkout Button (Mobile)**
```css
.checkout-btn {
min-height: 44px; /* Current: 38px */
min-width: 44px;
}
```
2. **Form Validation**
```javascript
// Show errors immediately on blur, not on submit
onBlur={() => validateField(fieldName)}
```
3. **Color Contrast**
```css
.btn-secondary {
background-color: #5a6c7d; /* Current: #8a9ba8 */
}
```
```
