AI agent test generation workflow

Use AI agents to generate focused unit, integration and Playwright tests from behavior and risk instead of snapshots.

Quick answer

A test generation agent should start from behavior, risk and regressions, then create the smallest checks that fail for the right reason.

Workflow

Ask the agent to identify changed behavior, choose test level, cover edge cases and run only the relevant test command before widening scope.

Risk check

Generated tests are weak when they only assert rendering, mock the behavior under test or duplicate implementation details.

FAQ

Should agents generate snapshots?

Only rarely. Behavior, access control and integration tests usually catch more meaningful regressions.
