Developer Creates Browser Extension Using AI for Testing
Shows how a developer with no prior extension experience built a browser extension for user impersonation and testing using AI assistance.
Transcript:
So it goes without saying that a key part of what we do is testing the work that’s big done by developers and validating issues that might be coming from the customer. And that involves logging in and logging out a lot. And there are some tools that you can use to make that a bit easier like one password or last pass. To know what I wanted to do though is show you an extension that one of our developers Julian has put together. And it’s a really good example of how a technical person can really leverage the power of AI and development. Julian had never built an extension for a browser before, but now has built this amazing extension that allows me to save a range of usernames that I need to log in as or usernames that I want to impersonate or URLs that I want to get. I can add, remove and update different usernames here. And then at any point in time, I can just say, great, I now need to log in and impersonate and it’s going to go on login as this person and then impersonate this person. It’s just so powerful and it’s going to save us so much time. But the real story here is that a technical resource has been able to leverage the knowledge they’ve already got to moving to a brand new field of development using AI as a tool.
