Personal Agent Bench features
- Task-based exam. Runs agents through 114 simulated errands with measurable completion rates.
- 95% confidence intervals. Each completion rate includes statistical confidence and sample size.
- Runtime teardowns. Shows where the agent runs, tool exposure, memory location and approval flows.
- Separate axes. Six consistent evaluation axes applied to every agent for fair comparison.
- No combined ranking. Provides raw data without aggregating into a single score, avoiding hidden weighting.
- Replayable worlds. Simulated environments can be reset and replayed to verify results.
Playwright features
- Auto-wait & assertions. Automatically waits for elements to be actionable and retries assertions until they pass.
- Test isolation. Each test runs in a fresh browser context, giving near-zero overhead isolation.
- Parallelism & sharding. Runs tests in parallel across browsers and can shard across machines for faster CI.
- MCP server for AI agents. Model Context Protocol server gives AI agents full browser control via structured accessibility snapshots.
- CLI for coding agents. Token-efficient command-line interface with installable skills for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.
- Test generator & trace viewer. Record actions to generate test code and view detailed execution traces with DOM, network, and console logs.
- VS Code extension. Run, debug, generate tests and view traces directly inside the editor.
