-The final outcome is a functioning test case that is working and performing exactly as needed, with the majority of the test case generated by the AI and modified by the user for specific requirements.
Outlines
š Generating E2E Test Cases with AI
The video demonstrates the process of using generative AI to create end-to-end test cases for a website, specifically BestBuy. The presenter guides viewers through copying the website URL, naming the test suite, and utilizing the 'Add custom test case' feature. Two options are presented: writing test cases manually or allowing the system to generate them automatically. The focus is on the latter, which involves the AI loading the website, using prompts to understand the steps necessary for a functional test, and executing those steps. The AI's process is shown, including entering search terms, adding items to a cart, and navigating through checkout, even handling a login prompt and address entry. The presenter also shows how to modify the test case using 'Quick Edit' to correct any issues, such as entering an address in the wrong format.
š Validating and Updating Test Cases
This paragraph continues the tutorial by discussing how to validate errors and specific conditions within the test case. The presenter explains how to highlight necessary fields like the State or to ensure that the 'Apply' button remains functional. The video shows the updated test case execution, which follows the corrected instructions provided by the user. The AI's generative capabilities are emphasized, as the majority of the test case is automatically generated, with the user making necessary modifications to fit specific needs. The video concludes by showcasing the successful execution of the updated test case, which validates the 'Apply' button's functionality, demonstrating the ease of building functional end-to-end tests using AI.

Hello everyone! Today I will show you how easy itĀ is to use generative AI to generate end-to-endĀ Ā
tests using testRigor. For that we will be usingĀ BestBuy. Let's just copy the URL, paste it intoĀ Ā
the test feed and name test suite BestBuy,Ā then we can proceed and create the test suite.Ā Ā
There is a button here says Add custom testĀ case. You click on that: here you can writeĀ Ā
your test cases yourself using descriptionĀ and then steps that need to be executed. OrĀ Ā
you can specify the description for example,Ā find a Kindle and add it to shopping cart.Ā Ā
If you click on the first button, itĀ will just generate you an example.Ā Ā
However, if you click on the second button,Ā Ā
this is where it will actually start generatingĀ your actual functional end to end test,Ā Ā
and this is automatically generated test inĀ there. So we are interested in the second one.Ā Ā
So what the system does is basically it loadsĀ the website, the URL which we have specifiedĀ Ā
when we created the test suite. ThenĀ it will use a prompt and your websiteĀ Ā
to figure outstep by step what needs toĀ be done to actually build a functioningĀ Ā
end to end test on your specific system.Ā And this is what it is doing right now.Ā Ā
So as you can see it entered, let's go thereĀ and see what it is trying to do here. If IĀ Ā
click on the screenshot you can see it enteredĀ Kindle into search bar, clicked on this KindleĀ Ā
and Add to cart, and it gotĀ to this interesting pop up.Ā Ā
But it figured out that youĀ should click Go to cart there,Ā Ā
and it got to whatever seems to be Cart. ThenĀ Ā
it clicked Check out and there's a loginĀ prompt.It says continue as guest. All rightĀ Ā
here it decided for some reason that it needsĀ to validate that the page contains address.Ā Ā
After that it actually entered some kind ofĀ an address there. As you can see it tried toĀ Ā
enter the full address into address bar whichĀ is clearly not to the format because the cityĀ Ā
and the zip code are different fields. But that'sĀ totally fine because we can easily modify thisĀ Ā
test case. For that you can use either Quick EditĀ or Edit test case button. Let's click Quick Edit,Ā Ā
and here first of all, we do not need to doĀ this validation in here so we'll remove thatĀ Ā
we might need it later. SecondĀ of all, it's a funny city name.Ā Ā
We can add this city into City and enter theĀ zip code into Zip and remove them from theĀ Ā
original long address. Now we are enteringĀ correct format, address city and zip,Ā Ā
click Apply which is next button inĀ there. So now the question is, okay,Ā Ā
we're probably not going to go through, what areĀ we going to validate? Well, there are severalĀ Ā
way show we can validate errors we can validateĀ specific errors. Let's say it highlights the StateĀ Ā
and says we need the State, or we canĀ just validate it and go through anywhere,Ā Ā
and say the page still contains ApplyĀ button and this is what we'll do,Ā Ā
so just click update and retest. As youĀ can see here, this is our updated test.Ā Ā
And now what it will do, it willĀ execute our updated instructionsĀ Ā
to run the test doing exactly what we need thereĀ instead of these slightly incorrect ones. And thisĀ Ā
way we got ourselves a functioning negative endĀ to end checkout flow test within five minutes.Ā Ā
Once again, the majority of the test caseĀ had been generated by the generative AI.Ā Ā
And then we modified it toĀ allow it to do whatever we need.Ā Ā
And we got ourselves a test case which isĀ working and doing exactly what we need.Ā Ā
And this is how easy it is to build functionalĀ end to end test case using generative AI.Ā Ā
Let's give it a second and voila!Ā As you can see here, it found ApplyĀ Ā
which is still enabled button onĀ the page. Thank you very much!
