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?
Depends on what you want to test. I would suggest the following two though:
There is nothing wrong with using chatgpt to guide your tests, while asking from users to provide feedback. Remember that, ultimately, you want something that is visually appealing and user friendly to your users and not necessarily to you.
Adopt some Kanban and Lean principles. Prioritise those aspects that would generate the most value and work on them only when is needed.
