I tried out Opus 5 on a Bevy game app and was really surprised at how capable AI has become at testing visual applications without even being prompted to. It wrote itself a mini testing harness in the form of various startup flags. Then it would use them to setup game scenarios and play through them using mouse and keyboard. It would do this while implementing or debugging features. With gameplay time acceleration as one of the flags, it became quite fast at testing and debugging.
Not to say it was perfect, e.g. sometimes it would get temporarily stuck in a testing loop or it would test scenarios that didn't necessarily seem reasonable. But overall rather effective and capable. This was for a city building game so pre-scripted builds, even if by AI, are likely much easier to create and execute than say playing an ARPG.
