Using Claude to Generate Tests
Claude can write TestDriver tests by following the patterns in the AI Agent Guide.Simple Prompt Example
AI Agent Guide
TestDriver includes a comprehensive guide specifically for AI agents at agents.md.agents.md - Complete AI Agent Guide
Includes:
- Quick setup and authentication
- Provision methods (chrome, vscode, electron)
- Core API methods with examples
- Sandbox reconnection patterns
- Debugging failed finds
- Iterative selector refinement
- Best practices for autonomous operation
- Common patterns and examples
Generating Complete Test Suites
Ask Claude to generate multiple related tests:Iterative Refinement
AI agents can iteratively refine selectors when initial attempts fail:Using Claude Code
If you’re using Claude Code (Anthropic’s CLI agent), you can ask it to:Generate Tests
Debug Failing Tests
Refactor Tests
Add Assertions
Prompt Templates
Basic Test Generation
Form Testing
Multi-Step Flow
Visual Regression
AI Agent Patterns
Autonomous Debugging
AI agents can debug tests by:-
Analyzing error messages
-
Reconnecting to sandboxes
-
Iterative refinement
- AI tries multiple selector variations
- Learns from similarity scores
- Adjusts strategy based on visual feedback
Test Generation from Requirements
AI can generate tests from various formats:- User Stories
- BDD/Gherkin
- Manual Test Cases
Claude + TestDriver Workflow
Recommended workflow for using Claude with TestDriver:1
Share agents.md
Provide Claude with the AI agent guide:
2
Describe Requirements
Clearly describe what you want to test:
3
Review & Refine
Claude generates the test. Review and ask for refinements:
4
Run & Debug
Run the test. If it fails, share the error with Claude:
5
Iterate
Claude suggests improvements. Repeat until test passes.

Always review AI-generated tests for:
- Security (secret: true for passwords)
- Proper error handling
- Meaningful assertions
- Clear test names
