Description

This project was built in collaboration with Infor, the world’s third-largest ERP provider, to solve a real-world bottleneck: 💡 The company spends tens of thousands of hours every year on manual software testing. Testers read PDFs with step-by-step instructions and then manually click through the ERP system’s UI.

We created an AI-driven solution that automates both test creation and test execution by combining: • Browser-Use (agent framework) • GPT-4o (multimodal reasoning on screenshots & HTML) • Playwright (E2E test automation) • Next.js (intuitive frontend)

👉 The result: Deterministic Playwright test scripts automatically generated from an AI agent’s navigation, with full traceability through screenshots. This makes tests fast, repeatable, and scalable – without writing a single line of code.

Key Features • ⚡ Massive time savings – reduces thousands of hours of manual testing every year. • 🖱️ No-code test generation – users create end-to-end tests without programming knowledge. • 🤖 AI-powered navigation – GPT-4o agents explore web UIs using screenshots and HTML. • 📜 Deterministic Playwright scripts – reproducible and reliable automation output. • 🎨 User-friendly frontend – request tests, view screenshots of each action, and export working scripts.

Would you like me to also make a shorter, more business-facing README summary (like a pitch for non-technical visitors on GitHub) in addition to this detailed developer README?
