Shortest
Write browser tests in plain English, run them with Playwright, and connect automated test writing and repair to a GitHub pull-request workflow.
About Shortest
Shortest is an AI-assisted testing tool for teams that want to describe browser tests in plain English instead of implementing every test step manually. It executes the resulting tests with Playwright and connects the workflow to GitHub, placing natural-language test scenarios alongside pull-request development. The product is aimed at application teams that need repeatable browser checks while reducing the effort required to write and repair test code. Its Standard subscription includes automated test writing for new features, intelligent fixing for broken tests, unlimited pull requests, GitHub integration, and priority support. A 14-day trial lets a team evaluate the workflow before paying, but it is not a permanent free plan. The listed Standard price is $10 per user per month, so cost grows with team size. An Enterprise option is available through sales for teams that need a tailored arrangement. Because Shortest builds on Playwright and centers its integration on GitHub, adoption is most straightforward for teams already using those technologies.
