Application Methods:
- Element traversal test: Automatically verify interface availability with the 'click all menu items and take a screenshot' command.
- anomaly detection: Recognize unaligned UI components or error pop-ups in combination with visual patterns
- stress test: Simulate high-frequency button clicks (e.g., submitting a form 100 times in rapid succession) with a looping instruction
Technical limitations:
- Non-standard controls (e.g. game UI) may have lower recognition rates
- Dynamic content (e.g. real-time refreshed stock data) requires specific processing logic
- Multi-monitor environments require additional capture area configuration
Best Practices:
- Add 2-second delay tolerance for critical operations
- Breaking down complex test cases into atomic instructions
- Regularly update dependency libraries for Windows system updates
In contrast to specialized testing tools such as TestComplete, MCP is better suited to quickly validate the basic interaction flow of an MVP product.
