From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 13, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
volkswagen Volkswagen detects when your tests are being run in a CI server, and makes them pass. Why? If you want your software to be adopted by Americans, good tests scores from the CI server are very important. Volkswagen uses a defeat device to detect when it's being tested in a CI server and will automatically reduce errors to an acceptable level for the tests to pass. This will allow you to spend less time worrying about testing and more time enjoying the good life as a trustful software developer. You can start already by adding our evergreen build badge to your README: Markdown snippet: [![volkswagen status](https://auchenberg.github.io/volkswagen/volkswagen_ci.svg?v=1)](https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen) Installation npm install volkswagen Usage Just require volkswagen somewhere in your code-base - maybe in your main test file: require('volkswagen') Project status CI servers detected: Travis CI CircleCI Jenkins CI Hudson Bamboo TeamCity Team Foundation Server Visual Studio Online CI GitLab CI Codeship Drone.io Magnum CI Semaphore CI AppVeyor Buildkite TaskCluster GoCD Bitbucket Pipelines + all other CI servers that exposes a CI or CONTINUOUS_INTEGRATION environment variable Test suites defeated: assert tap tape chai + any test actually that set the exit code or throw an error License MIT Credits Heavily inspired by https://github.com/hmlb/phpunit-vw
