Your Test Intent Should Outlive the Selector

Keep the behavior you care about, even when the interface changes.

A test file contains two different investments: what you learned should be tested, and the mechanics you wrote to reach it.

When the mechanics break, teams often lose patience with both.

/carbon-tests gives CARBON a durable local library of test intent. You can define a case in natural language, manage it visually, import existing assets, and retain its setup, expectations, evidence requirements, and execution history.

Preserve what the old test knew

Imagine a Selenium case that verifies a discount cannot exceed the order total. Its selector is outdated, but the business rule is still valuable.

An import should retain the source and the assertion, identify what needs clarification, and adapt the execution path where appropriate. It should not turn a precise price rule into “checkout looks okay.” Exact values, permissions, and wire contracts remain exact when they matter.

CARBON's import-and-bake workflow executes converted cases through an available safe adapter and classifies non-passes. A bad test definition, broken environment, and product defect need different responses. Repairing a converted definition does not authorize a product change.

Make the library usable

/carbon-tests import the local checkout test export; preserve its assertions and show the readiness gaps before execution

The protected local UI supports creating, editing, duplicating, activating, archiving, restoring, and exporting cases. New definitions are drafts unless activation is requested. Active intent tests can participate in subsequent CARBON plans.

This is not a promise that natural language removes ambiguity. It gives ambiguity a place to be resolved while preserving the testing knowledge you already paid to acquire.

Install CARBON at testers.ai/carbon for a supported coding agent such as Claude, Codex, or Cursor.
