From Failure to Fix: AI-Driven Test Debugging & RCA with Playwright MCP and LLM CLI
Discover how to leverage AI-powered tools — Playwright MCP and LLM CLI — to automatically analyze failing tests, identify root causes, and generate actionable fix suggestions. This session walks through real-world debugging workflows where AI transforms cryptic test failures into clear, reproducible diagnoses, dramatically reducing mean time to resolution and freeing engineers to focus on building rather than firefighting.
