Copilot for tests
By GitHub. Category: IDE and repo test agents. Homepage
GitHub's documentation describes GitHub Copilot as an AI coding assistant; this listing covers its documented testing features. Copilot Chat generates unit and integration tests from prompts, and cookbook recipes cover unit tests, mocks and end-to-end tests for web pages. Tests are written as code in a framework the user chooses, such as Playwright, Selenium or Cypress for end-to-end tests. The Copilot cloud agent runs tests in a GitHub Actions environment and uses the Playwright MCP server by default for web access. Plans range from Copilot Free to per-seat Business and Enterprise plans.
