Muhammad-21··on Show HN: Qpilot – AI agent runs plain-text manual test cases in a real browser
Thanks! Would love to hear how it goes — especially where it breaks.

Healer agents solve "my test code broke, fix it". I'm aiming at manual QA teams that never had test code in the first place. For them the realistic alternative isn't nicely written Playwright, it's clicking through the cases by hand every release.

Fair point, getByRole is the right way to write Playwright tests and I worded that comparison badly. Thanks for calling it out.

What I actually care about is who maintains the thing. Even a well-written getByRole test is still code that someone has to own: page objects, assertions, a scripted path. In qpilot the only stored artifact is the plain text test case. Whatever maps steps to elements gets derived from the live page at runtime on every run, so there's no stored selector layer that can go stale.
