Shortest is an AI-powered end-to-end testing framework that lets developers write browser tests in plain English, executed via Anthropic's Claude API on top of Playwright. It includes GitHub integration with 2FA support and email validation via Mailosaur.

Use cases

  • write e2e tests in natural language
  • automate login flow testing with AI
  • test web apps without writing selectors
  • run AI-driven browser QA checks
  • validate email flows during end-to-end tests
  • test GitHub sign-in including 2FA

When to choose

  • you want plain-English E2E tests instead of brittle selectors
  • your stack is TypeScript/Next.js and already uses Playwright
  • you need AI to handle test implementation from scenario descriptions

When to avoid

  • you need fully deterministic, fast CI tests without LLM costs or flakiness
  • you don't want to send app context to an external AI API
  • you need non-browser or API-only testing
