Trials and Tribulations of Vibe Coding and Context Engineering a CICD Pipeline

In this talk Chris share his experiences with vibe coding & context engineering (a) a UI given a live API (b) API tests for the API (c) synthetic monitors for the API using Checkly (d) functional tests (Playwright) using a mocked API and live API. In this talk, Chris shares some of the tools he has been test-driving that could make UI/functional tests much easier and that groks well with the AI-assisted coding workflow.
