The Problem with AI Tests That Don't Know Your App

AI-generated Cypress tests lack app-specific context by default. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) can ground the AI in a team's own Swagger specs, component docs, and bug history, and when paired with Cypress's experimental cy.prompt() command, the AI produces more precise tests that map to real endpoints. However, humans still write better assertions and cover intent, while the AI excels at breadth.
