Help with ideas

Hello MOT.
I was thinking of making a side project and would require your input.

What’s the one Cypress plugin (or testing tool feature) you wish existed yesterday? :thinking::rocket:

If you could add any missing functionality to Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or any other test automation framework, what would it be?

Maybe a:

:white_check_mark: Smarter element locator strategy :mag:

:white_check_mark: AI-powered flakiness analyzer :robot:

:white_check_mark: Better test reporting & visualization :bar_chart:

:white_check_mark: Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines :zap:

Let’s crowdsource ideas! What’s the biggest gap in your testing stack that a plugin or library could solve?"

It was much pain for me to get a HMTL report for our CI-Server from Cypress which covers all test cases. It needed 2-3 plugins. Cypress creates a json result file for each test case and you have to make them into one. Then you convert that one into a HTML report.
Also I was unable to make the inclusion von screenshot working. On our CI server we have to go to a different artifact folder to see screenshots from failing test cases.

Can’t say that this is much of an issue for me.
It maybe was a bit demanding, because I don’t know the details yet. But once done it works.

We are not toddlers who need to be babysitted. Working with technology is demanding. Especial when doing things for the first time.
Idk, "seamless " is wishful thinking for me. And bold marketing claims.
