✂️ Introducing: Shortest! Shortest is an open-source AI-powered testing framework that allows developers to write end-to-end tests in plain English, as simple as: shortest(“user can sign up and create a $5 product”) More tests = fewer regressions as AI writes and ships code.

Try it out:

AI is helping startups automate tasks, scale support, and drive growth. See how companies like Luna are leveraging AI. @DellTech #Dellforstartups #DWEN #AI #ad

shortest("do QA")

That’s the end goal!

Only if you’re not good at writing tests

Niiice! Did you consider having it record what playwright actually does for consecutive runs to make it faster, cheaper (& more determinsitic)? I thought it'd work like snapshot testing where you only use anthropic when doing the first run / when app changes

Seems like this is the #1 feature request! Someone has attempted but still WIP:

How is this different from using a tool like @cursor_ai to do the same?

@cursor_ai It’s a whole new way to write tests / testing framework, not just a web app to write tests

This looks incredible. We operate very iterative and lightweight dev teams where QA can be a challenge of balancing dev and testing time. Traditional unit tests are not always the most viable option as use cases can be more nuanced than hardcoded tests allow for. Very interested in trying this within our workflows. Is this something you've developed in response to internal testing bottlenecks?

Yes exactly. Writing and running tests can be the slowest part of the shipping pipeline, and Shortest aims to address that!
