Automated Testing: Combining Computer Use and E2E
dotey · x · 2026-07-18
Discusses engineering practices for GUI automated testing. While traditional pipelines typically rely on E2E frameworks like Playwright, testing can also be automated using AI Agents' Computer Use capabilities. Although Agent-based testing is currently more expensive and slightly less stable, it can accomplish tasks traditional E2E cannot, effectively replacing significant manual effort. Furthermore, using desktop versions of Codex/Claude Code is recommended, as they proactively invoke Computer Use for pre-delivery testing and auto-fixing, significantly boosting efficiency.
