I find that as an early-stage startup founder, I’m intensely focused on building my product and getting users, which leaves little time for writing tests. If I do write them, they’re usually unit tests, but I rarely write UI tests with Selenium because they’re so brittle as CSS selectors and UI layouts change frequently.
Have you guys had a similar experience? Would you write UI tests earlier if there was a way to use AI to automate them and make them more robust?
At some point it is faster to write automated tests than to manually test that nothing breaks. Usually that point is when you start scaling your team.
Everyone here is making it be that writing some tests is gonna take forever but I would say that any project with more than 2 employees is going to save time in the long run by spending a week writing some automatic testing.
