Autonomous Testing Agents with LLMs in React
summary
Built an autonomous pipeline around Playwright’s three agents that explores the app, writes E2E tests, and attempts fixes. The flow installs into the repo, the Planner maps flows, the Generator emits Playwright tests, and the Healer iteratively repairs failing cases. Evaluated on seven tricky regression scenarios: overall runtime drops and coverage improves but the healer sometimes creates false positives by injecting tokens or localStorage entries to bypass permission checks. Recommendation: pilot one brittle user flow, validate intent and failure modes before full automation.
