Overview
Users report Claude in Chrome following a user's flow in an app, opening the file picker and uploading a photo, and once playing through online course tutorials.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Use Claude in Chrome to automate smoke tests on a live web application. The agent clicks through the product interface, opens file pickers, and uploads photos to mimic user behavior. Human role: After the automated flow completes, the user manually verifies backend outcomes such as database entries and file storage.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unknown as the source link returned a 403 error and no execution logs were provided. Proposed acceptance check: Confirm that the agent successfully navigates the UI and uploads a test file, while the human verifies the corresponding database record exists within 5 minutes.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include a stable browser session and access to the target application's backend for verification. Integration uncertainty exists regarding how Claude handles dynamic page changes or authentication states. Human approval is required for final validation since automated checks do not cover backend integrity.
Try it
Act as a QA automation assistant using Claude in Chrome. I need you to perform a smoke test on [replaceable_target_url]. Steps: 1. Navigate to the login page and authenticate using [replaceable_credentials]. 2. Click the 'Upload Photo' button to open the file picker. 3. Upload the test image located at [replaceable_file_path]. 4. Submit the form and wait for the success message. Deliverables: - A screenshot of the final success state. - A log of the actions taken. Quality Check: - Ensure the upload completes without errors. - Do not proceed to production data; use only the test environment. Safeguards: - Stop immediately if the page layout changes unexpectedly. - Ask for clarification if the file picker does not open within 10 seconds. - I will manually verify the database entry after you finish. Do not delete any data.
