Instructions for Coding Agents

We recommend starting with our quickstart then supplying your coding agent with our agents.md file.

Agents.md

Copy the current version of agents.md to provide your coding agent with up-to-date instructions on how to generate TestDriver tests.
 Then, you can prompt your coding agent to generate tests. Here is an example prompt: 
Make me a TestDriver test that does the following steps:

Navigate to practicetestautomation.com
Type username student into Username field
Type password Password123 into Password field
Push Submit button
Verify new page contains expected text 'logged in'

​
AI Exploration Mode

Within a test, the ai() method lets TestDriver autonomously figure out how to accomplish a task. It’s useful for dynamic or unpredictable UIs where explicit actions may be difficult to define. 
// Handle dynamic or unpredictable UI
await testdriver.ai('dismiss any popups or modals that appear');
Explicit commands are preferred for production tests, as they are cheaper, faster, and more reliable.
