I really like that thought.
I was initially working towards that like to generate just the code. The issue which i found was, when our app changes, we will again have to redo the code generation. And since it is code, we will still need someone to review it.
I am not against all this.
But my first goal was to prove that the job of Automation Tester is taken over by AI now.
Next, as i get more feedback and response, i will try if it can start generating code along.
Really appreciate the feedback.
1. To answer this, I will try to record a video this week. It's not a short answer because, if you’ve heard of Anthropic's computer-use, browser-use, or OpenAI's operator, this takes a slightly improved approach. It was demonstrated by Playwright MCP, which leverages the Accessibility Tree. In my testing, this worked well for a very clunky web app with many Shadow DOMs and iframes.
2. There is a built-in mechanism to deal with this. Once I hear more feedback on its performance, I can make improvements.
3. Right now, it does not use vision. The reason I didn't add vision in v1 is that I wanted to run tests with lower token costs and prove it works equally well without vision. I plan to add vision as an option for those who don’t mind the token cost.
*Summary*: This is a lightweight library, making it easy to adjust and improve.
