@webdriverio @bromann Release notes: https://t.co/cZHndZqax6

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

@webdriverio v10 is built for coding agents. wdio session lets an agent drive a browser, phone or desktop app step by step, then export the working steps as a test.

browser.act() takes a plain-language step, asks a model once, then replays it as plain code, per @bromann.

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

AI testing agents chasing a green build may cheat, warns @NewsFromMichiel at QA Financial: weakening assertions, swapping in always-passing mocks, marking failures obsolete.

His safeguards: review test changes like code changes, and keep run logs agents can't rewrite.

@Cypress_io Cloud MCP tools: https://t.co/E81KjaRgGQ

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

@Cypress_io added a cypress_get_test_screenshots tool to its Cloud MCP server: an AI assistant can pull a failed test's screenshot into the chat, next to the error and stack trace.

Agents fixing tests can now see the unexpected modal or shifted layout, not just the log.

What to do with all the free resets? Go on a flake hunt!

Codex ran the test suite 59 times overnight looking for flaky tests, and found 3 production bugs in the process

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

@aarondfrancis had Codex run his test suite 59 times overnight to hunt for flaky tests. It found 3 production bugs in the process.

Flaky tests are worth chasing: some are real bugs that only surface under certain timing.

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

Crédit Agricole Payment Services (15B+ transactions a year) is using AI to start payment test automation from app wireframes, before development begins, reports @NewsFromMichiel at QA Financial.

Its 2,000-3,000 automated tests run on real devices, not emulators.

@Cypress_io Release notes: https://t.co/DDKVrWTWnE

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

@Cypress_io 16.2.0 adds cy.getByRole(), which finds elements by ARIA role and accessible name, e.g. cy.getByRole('tab', { name: 'Billing' }).

If a button loses the role or label that screen reader users rely on, the test fails.

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

Flaky test that only fails when the suite is busy?

@playwrightweb 1.62 added retryStrategy: 'isolated'. Retries run at the end, one at a time, in a single worker. If it passes there, the problem is test interference, not a logic bug.

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

Testing passkey login used to mean mocking WebAuthn by hand.

@playwrightweb 1.61 ships a virtual authenticator (context.credentials). Seed a passkey, install it, and navigator.credentials.get() works in every browser. 1.62 lets you persist it in storage state.

[AI Testing News @aitestingnews]

@Cypress_io published a setup guide for pairing Claude Code with Cypress: open-source AI Skills that read your config and custom commands before writing tests, a free Cloud MCP that pulls failing CI runs, and cypress tap to re-check fixes in a live session.
