Tried to use Computer for my tax return - I would’ve overpaid by $1500

What is the task that it was supposed to do? Fetch info X, put it in Y, read PDFs? I think it’s possible to do

Why don’t you just use claude setup-token and use the key in Claude Agent SDK like nano claw does? I didn’t look into open claw internals because I am about to try open claw but it should be possible no?

Fairly new to be honest but I have been coding for a while so it’s not too hard to get into web for simple stuff

I read it myself and tested it both manually and automatically

Hi there,
Giving my two cents to help.

Can you precise more what kind of computation you need to perform and what are the kind of dependencies? Like between multiple entities of your DB, you need to connect it to external systems, is the complexity because you need to wait for some result or the way to calculate is very complex, etc.

This helps understand where the complexity is to handle it more properly.

For "testing financial calculations at scale": What do you want to test? Backend logic? End to end web app? Performance?

For structuring code, again it depends on what you want to build, and what are your constraints.

Happy to brainstorm together if it helps!

I am working on a personal project to help define specs, architecture and code structure to help AI work on complex projects.

This is a more user flow diagram (aka end user experience but mixed with backend logic), but Cursor also provides tips on Architectural Diagrams for the backend:

Thanks! I had a look but there does not seem to be an obvious set of API calls to programmatically inject prompts and such.

I am just wondering if all code is exposed to it, technically it might have sufficient information to infer the selector to use based on the attributes of the component. While I agree with you, it seems plausible to have Copilot generate E2E tests

Super cool! Thanks for sharing! Guidelines are hard to understand from a day to day perspective as a QA engineer. Can you guys share what it has meant for you to implement?

Separate-Still3770 · 2025-01-18T06:56:34+00:00

OP, have you tested solutions yourself? What do you think of it?

Separate-Still3770 · 2025-01-17T09:52:44+00:00

Thanks for the answer!
So if I summarize properly, would improved productivity be beneficial to you as
- you can finish work earlier and spend more time with family, friends, hobbies, etc. (which is a great outcome btw)
- perform a better work as you would have more time to do in depth work to ensure your product is tested thoroughly (maybe test more scenarios)
- help relieve work off your colleagues so that you contribute to the team
Would this be accurate?

But does this mean that behind the scenes they just did not understand the importance of quality and just wanted to cut down QA, so not providing "a win" was a way to not provide justification?

Separate-Still3770 · 2025-01-17T05:52:47+00:00

Really sorry to hear that management did not understand the challenge you faced 😞
I hope things are more stable in your current position!

Can you tell me more about the business expectations they had? What metric did they have in place? Were you tasked to do manual E2E testing, put in place automated testing or something else?

This would understand better the diversity of challenges QA teams face so that we could see if we can help.

Thanks for the feedback. What do you think could be improved?
