Unveiling the Future of Automated Testing: My Journey with AI Tools
In a quest to automate end-to-end testing, I explored various AI tools and discovered unexpected insights about their effectiveness. Here’s what I found:
- Testing Tools Comparison:
- Cursor AI: Speedy, but needed 6 attempts to successfully generate a working test.
- Claude Code: More reliable with only 3 attempts, yet plagued by hard-coded selectors.
- Playwright MCP: High cost ($2.13 for 11 minutes) but same output as Claude, making it a poor investment.
- Autonoma: A game changer. Codeless, self-healing, and caught visual issues that others missed—all achieved in just 2 minutes!
Key Takeaways:
- Speed in test generation is deceptive; maintenance burdens can outweigh initial creation time.
- Visual validation matters more than mere functionality—Autonoma excels here.
- Sustainable testing is crucial for continuous delivery.
