This solves a massive headache. The drift between externally generated tests and an active codebase is a brutal problem to maintain.
Using vision-based execution instead of brittle XPaths is a great baseline, but moving the test definitions to live directly alongside the repo context is definitely the real win here.
Did you find that generating the YAML from the codebase context entirely eliminated the "stale test" issue, or do developers still need to manually tweak the generated YAML when mobile UI layouts change drastically? Great project!
Hi Avikaa, finalrun provides skills that you can integrate with any IDE of your choice. You can just ask the finalrun-generate-test skill to update all the test for your new feature.
> The shift for me was realizing test generation shouldn’t be a one-off step. Tests need to live alongside the codebase so they stay in sync and have more context.
Does the actual test code generated by the agent get persisted to project?
If not, you have kicked the proverbial can down the road.
Yes gavinray, It gets persisted to the project. Its lives alongside the codebase. So that any test generated has the best context of what is being shipped. which makes the AI models use the best context to test any feature more accurately and consistently.
Hey, thats true, verification of ai generated code needs proof with video of each action, console logs and network logs. Would love to know how you are solving for web. would be a great learning for me too.

Monorepos have many benefits chiefly being able to commit atomically reduces incidental complexity from drift.
It’s good enough for Google and Facebook!

We do something similar in our company for web with playwright but facing a lot of flaky tests.
