Show HN: Verex – Write E2E tests in plain English, powered by Playwright and AI

Post by prageeths » Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 4:29 PM UTC

I built Verex, a tool that lets you write E2E tests in plain English (e.g. "Login and check dashboard loads"). It uses Playwright under the hood with an AI layer to interpret and run tests, reducing the need to maintain brittle test scripts.

No more flaky tests that break every time the UI changes.

CI-ready (GitHub Actions, BitBucket Pipelines, Gitlab), with visual bug reports and screenshots.

Would love feedback: https://youtu.be/KUHjFeHlSlg

Once again, the downfall of SWE continues. What you call "brittle test scripts" should be an important part of the specifications, and those flaky tests should teach you something that you purposefully ignored by using a random test generator.

I have a very negative feeling about the future of programming if that trend continues and spreads.
