Feature Request: Visual Testing and Interaction for Claude Code
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When Claude Code writes or modifies code, I have no way to know if the result actually works correctly without manually launching the app, testing every button, every interaction, and every screen myself. This back-and-forth is slow and time-consuming — I have to be the tester every single time, even for small changes.
Proposed Solution
Feature Request: Visual Testing and Interaction for Claude Code
It would be amazing if Claude Code could autonomously test apps after writing the code, interacting with them exactly like I would as a real user.
I’d love it to work like this:
- Write or modify the code as it already does
- Launch the app and open a live preview
- Look at the result and spot any bugs, broken elements, or unexpected behaviors
- Interact with the app like a real user — click buttons, drag and drop elements, scroll, navigate between screens and test everything
- If something is wrong, go back into the code, understand the problem and fix it
- Repeat until everything works exactly as requested
- Only hand back the result when it’s truly ready to use
I’d also love to be able to see in real time what Claude is doing while it works — every click, every edit, every test — so I can follow along and understand what’s happening.
Thank you so much for considering this!
Alternative Solutions
I have looked at other AI coding agents that already have visual testing capabilities, but I prefer Claude Code for its accuracy and reliability. Right now my only workaround is to manually test everything myself after Claude Code finishes, which defeats the purpose of having an autonomous coding

Use Case Example
I’m building a game and I ask Claude Code to add a new menu screen. Claude writes the code, but I have no idea if the buttons work, if the layout looks right, or if navigating between screens is broken — until I test it manually myself. With this feature, Claude Code would launch the app, click through the menu, check that everything works, fix any issue it finds, and only tell me it’s done when the result is actually ready.
Additional Context
This feature already exists in Google Antigravity, where the AI agent can open a browser, visually inspect the app, click buttons, scroll, and self-correct based on what it sees. Having something similar in Claude Code would be a huge improvement, since Claude’s reasoning and accuracy are already superior — adding visual testing would make it the most complete AI coding agent
