| Capability | Generic AI Tools (ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude) |
Coco TestAI |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | Single prompt generates code—no staged review, high AI hallucination risk | Minimizes AI hallucinations through progressive generation (Cases → Steps → Code)—AI focuses on one task at a time, preventing single-prompt errors |
| Setup & Integration | Manual copy-paste from project tools, requires API keys for integrations | check_circle Chrome extension reads from any browser page, link Git repo with API token—same-day setup |
| Test Coverage | Generic test suggestions—no systematic positive/negative/edge case coverage | check_circle 360° coverage—comprehensive positive, negative, edge cases. Generate per acceptance criteria for complete traceability |
| When Tests Created | After code is written—defects discovered late and expensive to fix | check_circle During story grooming, before code exists—create tests first to enable test-driven development |
| What's Tested | Code implementation—tests written after development | Requirements & acceptance criteria—test before code exists. Designed to significantly reduce post-development rework. |
| Review & Validation | Only at end after full generation—errors discovered after all work is done | Review at each stage (Cases → Steps → Code)—AI focuses 100% output capacity per stage, catch errors early |
| Traceability | remove | check_circle Complete: Requirement → Criteria → Cases → Steps → Code. Every test traceable to original story |
| Codebase Context | Manual context provision—copy-paste code snippets into prompts | Automatic—link Git repository once, AI analyzes codebase to generate tests matching your architecture |
| Framework Support | Generic code templates—not optimized for specific frameworks | Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, TestCafe, Puppeteer. Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C# with framework-specific waits and assertions |
| Team Collaboration | Individual tool—no shared workspace or test library | Project organization, team workspaces, role-based permissions, shared test suites |

| Capability | Traditional Testing Tools | Coco TestAI |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | 2 weeks—API setup, authentication configuration, vendor integration cycles, IT approval required | check_circle Same day with white glove onboarding—Chrome extension setup and Git repo connection. Codebase analysis completes in hours, start generating tests the same day |

Typical migration timeline from traditional tools or generic AI
Day 1: Setup (Same day)
White-Glove Onboarding
After booking a demo, our team provides white-glove onboarding—we configure the Chrome extension and connect your Git repository. Coco analyzes your codebase in a few hours. Start generating context-aware tests the same day.
Week 1: Parallel Testing
Risk-Free Evaluation
Run Coco alongside existing tools. Generate tests for new stories during grooming. Compare AI-generated tests with manual approach. No commitment required—evaluate risk-free.
Week 2-4: Team Adoption
Scale Across Teams
Expand to full team. Create shared test suites and project organization. Export tests in your preferred framework (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress). Integrate into existing CI/CD pipeline.
Month 2+: Full Workflow
Story-First Standard
Story-first testing becomes standard practice. Create tests during grooming to enable test-driven development. Generate comprehensive test coverage before code exists. Designed to significantly reduce post-development defects.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about switching to Coco
How is Coco different from ChatGPT or Cursor for test creation?
Generic AI tools generate everything in one shot—high hallucination risk and no review points. Coco uses a 3-stage workflow (Cases → Steps → Code) where AI focuses on one stage at a time and you review at each step. Result: Minimized AI hallucinations, complete traceability, and tests that align with requirements.
Why not use traditional tools like Selenium IDE or Katalon?
Traditional tools require 2 weeks of API setup, vendor negotiations, and IT approval before you can start. Coco's Chrome extension gets you started the same day with white glove onboarding. Works with any browser page: Jira, Linear, Asana, GitHub, or custom tools. Plus, traditional tools test code after development; Coco tests requirements during grooming, catching defects when they're cheaper to fix.
How long does it take to switch from my current tool?
You can start using Coco the same day—no migration required. After booking a demo, our team configures the Chrome extension and connects your Git repo for you. Coco analyzes your code in hours. Run Coco alongside your existing tools to evaluate risk-free. Most teams adopt Coco for new stories first, then gradually expand. There's no "rip and replace" required—Coco exports to standard frameworks so tests integrate with your existing CI/CD pipeline.
What happens to my existing test library?
Your existing tests continue to run unchanged. Coco doesn't replace your testing framework—it generates new tests in the same format (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, etc.). You decide which tests to create with Coco and which to maintain manually. Many teams use Coco for new features while keeping legacy tests as-is.
Does Coco replace my existing testing framework?
No—Coco works with your existing framework. Export tests in Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, TestCafe, or Puppeteer. Choose Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, or C#. Code includes framework-specific waits, assertions, and error handling. Coco generates tests; you run them in your existing CI/CD pipeline.
Can I try Coco without canceling my current tool?
Absolutely. Coco works alongside any existing tool. After booking a demo, our team sets up the Chrome extension for you, and you can try it on a few user stories to evaluate the results. No contracts, no lengthy setup, no risk. Most teams run parallel testing for 1-2 weeks before deciding to expand Coco usage.
Can manual QA teams use Coco?
Yes—test steps generated in Stage 2 are detailed, actionable, and usable for manual testing. Teams with hybrid workflows (manual + automated) use Coco to create comprehensive test cases and steps, then decide per-test whether to execute manually or generate automation code.
