Argus Autonomous Testing Roadmap¶

Market Analysis¶

Key Competitors and Their Features¶

Argus Competitive Advantages¶

1. Open Architecture - Cloudflare Workers + Claude AI (flexible model selection)
2. Cost Efficiency - Leverages Cloudflare Browser rendering (free tier)
3. Developer First - Chat-based interface, natural language test creation
4. Self-Healing Built-in - Already implemented with selector fallbacks

Phase 1: Visual Replay & Session Recording (Current Focus)¶

1.1 Screenshot Capture (DONE)¶

• Per-step screenshots in test execution
• Screenshots in act/agent endpoints
• Screenshot gallery with lightbox in dashboard
• Navigation between screenshots

1.2 Video Recording¶

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 2-3 days

Implementation: - Use Playwright's page.video() API in Cloudflare Browser - Store video as base64 or upload to R2/S3 - Add video player component to dashboard

// In CloudflareBrowserSession
async startRecording(): Promise<void> {
  await this.context.newPage({
    recordVideo: { dir: '/tmp/videos', size: { width: 1280, height: 720 } }
  });
}

async stopRecording(): Promise<string> {
  const video = this.page.video();
  return await video?.path() || '';
}

1.3 DOM Snapshots¶

Priority: MEDIUM
Effort: 2 days

Purpose: Enable visual diff and time-travel debugging

// Capture full DOM at each step
const domSnapshot = await page.evaluate(() => document.documentElement.outerHTML);

1.4 Network Request Logging¶

Priority: MEDIUM
Effort: 1-2 days

Purpose: Debug API failures, track performance

page.on('request', request => {
  networkLog.push({
    url: request.url(),
    method: request.method(),
    timestamp: Date.now()
  });
});

page.on('response', response => {
  networkLog.push({
    url: response.url(),
    status: response.status(),
    timing: response.timing()
  });
});

Phase 2: Autonomous Test Generation¶

2.1 App Discovery & Crawling¶

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 1 week

Flow: 1. User provides app URL + optional credentials 2. Agent crawls all accessible pages 3. Discovers all interactive elements per page 4. Builds app sitemap/graph

interface AppGraph {
  pages: Map<string, PageNode>;
  edges: Array<{ from: string; to: string; action: Action }>;
  forms: Array<FormSpec>;
  userFlows: Array<UserFlow>;
}

2.2 Intelligent Test Plan Generation¶

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 1 week

Use Claude to: 1. Analyze app structure 2. Identify critical user flows 3. Generate test scenarios with priorities: - Happy paths (login, checkout, etc.) - Edge cases (validation errors) - Error handling - Accessibility checks

const testPlan = await claude.analyze({
  appGraph: discoveredApp,
  prompt: `Analyze this application and generate a comprehensive test plan.
           Focus on:
           1. Critical user journeys
           2. Form validations
           3. Authentication flows
           4. Error states
           5. Edge cases`
});

2.3 Self-Healing Test Execution¶

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 3-5 days (enhancement)

Current: Basic selector fallback Enhanced: - Learn from failures - Update test specs automatically - Report healing actions to dashboard - Track healing success rate

interface HealingEvent {
  originalSelector: string;
  healedSelector: string;
  confidence: number;
  timestamp: Date;
}

Phase 3: CI/CD Integration¶

3.1 GitHub Actions Integration¶

# .github/workflows/argus-tests.yml
name: E2E Tests
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Run Argus Tests
        uses: raphaenterprises-ai/argus-action@v1
        with:
          url: ${{ secrets.STAGING_URL }}
          test-plan: ./tests/e2e-plan.json

3.2 Webhook Triggers¶

• Trigger tests on PR creation
• Run regression suite on merge to main
• Notify via Slack/Discord on failure

3.3 Test Result Storage (Supabase)¶

CREATE TABLE test_runs (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  project_id UUID REFERENCES projects(id),
  status TEXT,
  started_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
  completed_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
  screenshots JSONB,
  video_url TEXT,
  network_log JSONB
);

CREATE TABLE test_steps (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  run_id UUID REFERENCES test_runs(id),
  instruction TEXT,
  success BOOLEAN,
  screenshot TEXT,
  error TEXT,
  healed_selector TEXT
);

Phase 4: Advanced Features¶

4.1 Visual Regression Testing¶

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 1 week

Implementation: - Capture baseline screenshots - Compare with current screenshots - Generate visual diff - Flag significant changes

interface VisualDiff {
  baseline: string;
  current: string;
  diff: string;
  diffPercentage: number;
  threshold: number;
  passed: boolean;
}

4.2 Performance Testing¶

• Track page load times
• Monitor API response times
• Alert on performance regressions

4.3 Accessibility Testing¶

• Integrate axe-core
• Check WCAG compliance
• Generate accessibility reports

4.4 Cross-Browser Testing (Enhanced)¶

• Already have TestingBot integration
• Add browser matrix configuration
• Parallel execution across browsers

Phase 5: Intelligence Layer¶

5.1 Pattern Analysis¶

• Learn from test failures
• Identify flaky tests
• Suggest test improvements

5.2 Predictive Analytics¶

• Predict which tests might fail
• Prioritize test execution
• Risk-based test selection

5.3 Natural Language Reporting¶

• Generate human-readable test reports
• Summarize failures with context
• Suggest fixes using AI
