# Automated Testing with a Custom Driver
To write automated tests for your Electron app, you will need a way to "drive" your application. [Spectron](https://electronjs.org/spectron) is a commonly-used solution which lets you emulate user actions via [WebDriver](http://webdriver.io/). However, it's also possible to write your own custom driver using node's builtin IPC-over-STDIO. The benefit of a custom driver is that it tends to require less overhead than Spectron, and lets you expose custom methods to your test suite.

To create a custom driver, we'll use Node.js' [child_process](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html) API. The test suite will spawn the Electron process, then establish a simple messaging protocol:
