The text explores the complexities and potential of using AI and large language models (LLMs) for generating end-to-end tests with Playwright, a popular tool for browser automation. While traditional approaches to test generation, like Playwright's codegen, allow precise recording of user interactions, they require manual adjustments for efficiency. In contrast, AI-driven solutions, particularly when combined with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), offer the promise of automated test generation by interacting with the site in real-time, capturing the necessary context. However, the author expresses skepticism about relying solely on AI due to its tendency to make assumptions, which can lead to unreliable or incorrect tests. The text suggests that while AI presents exciting possibilities for streamlining test creation, there remains a need for human oversight to ensure quality and accuracy in the testing process.
