Suggestions that match your existing framework conventions rather than inventing new ones
Faster onboarding when we take over an unfamiliar automation codebase
Large refactors completed consistently across a suite
Confirmation of your policy on repository-level AI access before we enable it
What it is
Cursor is a code editor built around an AI assistant that can read and edit across a whole repository. In automation work its value shows up in the repetitive parts — generating page objects from a DOM, refactoring locator strategies across many files, translating a suite between frameworks — where the engineer reviews rather than types.
How PerfectQA uses Cursor
Cursor is the editor several of our engineers work in, chosen because its codebase-aware context handles the thing that matters most on automation work: understanding an existing suite well enough to extend it consistently. When you are adding to a framework with established page objects, fixtures and conventions, a tool that can see the whole repository produces suggestions that match the existing structure instead of inventing a parallel one. We use it heaviest during onboarding onto an inherited codebase and during large refactors, where the alternative is an engineer holding the whole structure in their head. As with the other AI tooling in our stack, it accelerates writing and never decides what is worth testing. Output is reviewed before it lands, and we confirm the client’s position on editor-level AI access to their repository before we enable it.
