# 2.5.13.32. MaxQ

MaxQ (http://maxq.tigris.org/) is a web testing tool that allows you to record HTTP sessions and play them back. The `MaxQ` step runs this framework.

    from buildbot.plugins import steps

    f.addStep(steps.MaxQ(testdir='tests/'))

The single argument, `testdir`, specifies where the tests should be run. This directory will be passed to the `run_maxq.py` command, and the results analyzed.
