Hi @Damith Are you looking to contribute to the Kibana source code repo?

Perhaps @LizaD might be able to provide some input around this

Hi @Damith

Here is some documentation on our UI automation for Kibana:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-functional-tests.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-functional-tests.html)

We use Selenium Webdriver and we have some tests already available in the Kibana repo under test/ and x-pack/test directories. Hope this helps.

Thanks,  
Liza
