AI Analysis

●MidSolve My ProblemShip It

Excel-to-test automation when Testim and Mabl already dominate this space.

Strengths
  • •No rigid templates — parses imperfect Excel formats and normalizes them automatically.
  • •Live browser preview with per-step status and AI-suggested fixes on failures.
  • •Works against local dev environments via secure tunneling like ngrok.
Weaknesses
  • •Test automation is crowded — Testim, Mabl, and BrowserStack already do AI-assisted testing.
  • •No evidence of handling dynamic selectors or flaky test scenarios better than competitors.
Target Audience

QA engineers and testing teams with existing test documentation

Post Description

I’m building CmdRunner, an AI agent that executes web application test cases directly from documents.

Most teams maintain Selenium or Playwright scripts, but many already have test steps written in Excel or documentation.

CmdRunner reads those steps and performs them in a browser like a human tester.

Workflow: 1. Upload test case file 2. Agent understands each step 3. Opens browser 4. Executes actions 5. Validates outcome 6. Generates report

Goal: reduce the time spent maintaining automation scripts.

If anyone is interested in trying it with real test cases, Register here:
