Decipher x Claude: Let Claude Code generate self-maintaining E2E tests

TL;DR: Decipher is an agentic QA platform used by companies like Bilt, Arize, and Vial. With our new Claude Code integration, Claude can generate, maintain, and run E2E tests through Decipher's agents and infrastructure. Teams shipping 10x faster with coding agents are seeing regressions skyrocket. Now you can create dozens of reliable tests in minutes.

What is it?

Install Decipher in Claude Code (docs here), set up a login identity, and you can start asking Claude to make reliable E2E tests that are maintained by Decipher and automatically update as your product changes.

Examples:
  • Describe a flow: "Test workflow generation: go through setup, select GPT5, save. Assert the generation completes."

  • Bulk creation: "Make 10 tests for each filter on /dashboard. Test edge cases for each."

  • Update existing tests: "Our account creation test is failing because we removed oauth. Update it to use email and password."

  • Evaluate coverage: “Which pages or flows are we not covering with our tests today?”

Why not just have Claude Code generate Playwright?

Playwright is a great framework. But there are some major limitations:

  • Unreliable generation. AI-generated Playwright tests guess at selectors and assertions from code context alone. They don’t verify the right things were clicked or that the test matches your intent. Decipher uses vision + DOM, validating each step actually worked efficiently.

  • You own the infra. Playwright means managing browsers, CI runners, parallelization, environments, and retries yourself. Decipher runs tests on managed infrastructure.

  • Constant maintenance. Playwright tests are static. Rename a field, move a button, CI goes red. Decipher updates tests continuously as your product changes. No flake triage. No babysitting locators.

  • Dumb failures. Playwright gives you a stack trace and maybe a screenshot. Decipher tells you why it failed: flow changed, real bug, or dependency issue. Plain language.

  • No visual assertions. Writing a Playwright check for "does dark mode look right" is painful or impossible. Decipher evaluates UI visually and semantically, not just DOM nodes.

How it works:
  1. Claude talks to Decipher's agent. Claude sends steps, Decipher’s agent executes them in a real browser. If a step fails and it needs Claude’s help, Claude gets feedback and screenshots, adjusts, and retries. The result is a validated and reliable test, not a best-guess script.

  2. Tests live and run on Decipher. Run them in CI/CD or on a schedule. As your product changes, Decipher's agent updates them automatically.

  3. Failures are explained, not just reported. When a test breaks, you get what failed, why, and whether it's a real bug or a product change.
