# There and Back Again: From Quickstrom to Bombadil

**[Planet Haskell](https://daily.dev/sources/phaskell)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Bombadil is a new open-source property-based browser testing framework built in Rust, designed as the successor to Quickstrom. It features a TypeScript-based specification DSL using linear temporal logic, ships as a single statically-linked executable, and aims to provide faster state space exploration with better debugging tools. The project is developed at Antithesis and can be used locally, in CI, or within Antithesis's deterministic hypervisor for perfect test reproduction.
