The Automation Gap

Test cases exist… but automation lags.

AI agents convert test cases into executable automation code.


What the AI Agent Can Generate

  • Playwright / Selenium scripts

  • API automation tests

  • Assertions

  • Test data builders

  • Page Objects / Helpers


Automation Flow

  1. Read test cases

  2. Understand application stack

  3. Generate framework-aligned code

  4. Add assertions & logging


Cursor Usage

  • Select test case file

  • Prompt:

    “Convert these scenarios into Playwright tests”

  • Refactor iteratively with Cursor suggestions


Result

  • Faster automation

  • Cleaner test code

  • Reduced manual scripting
